decimal(9.2)

Hello

How do I define the datatype decimal(9.2). I searched the documentation
but the only thing I found was the money data type which is in my case
not very usefull.

Is there a way to declare a datatype with 2 decimal places and with a fixed
precision? Thanks for your help

Herbie

Is not working. I got the following error:

db=> create table therbert (num numeric(9,2));
ERROR:  NUMERIC scale 2 must be zero

I use PostgreSQL 6.4.0 on i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc egcs-2.91.6

Any other hints?

Sorry, yes you need 6.5 for the general numeric type.
