Обсуждение: smallfloat with postgresql

sorry again (I am not smoking crack, only drinking some good ceres...)

smallint is not right (it is right for postgresql as a data type as read from
the guide)... The real data type is "smallfloat" (found in my informix tables)

so, Can I safely use NUMERIC as a data type for monetary computation instead
of smallfloat ???

NUMERIC represents decimal numbers exactly so is suitable for monetary
types using even decimal fractions.
