data type

Post by sangi1981 »

Hi all,
I have to treat with financial data, decimal field with many digits after comma.
What is better data type I can use for among float, double(dfloat) and decimal?
I don't understand difference between float-dfloat and decimal.
Thanks in advance.

Double will round off your data,I find Decimal with large precision works better.
