Hy,

I am trying to enter 19.00 in a float field... no error but the data (select)
is showing 19 without the "trailing" zeros... But for format and standard
presentation of money, I need to keep any last zero digit.

How can I do this? I run version 7.1x
Thanks!

Consider using the numeric type, or you can cast to it for output.

select 19::numeric(9,2);
numeric
---------
19.00
