Oracle decimals...
Hi everyone,

I've got an Oracle DB that I need to output data in a decimal format. Sample data such as 40.00 gets written into Oracle as 40. I've got a precision = 6 and a scale = 2. Any thoughts on how to get that 40 to display in my query as 40.00?? I'm sure there's an easy way, i just can't find it anywhere.

storage and display are completely separate. you must either format the query as shown in prior post or set a format mask in your form.

Hello,

if you want leading 0 you ending 0 you can use:

select to_char(my_field,'0999.90')
from my_table
