It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 62820
interpreted = N
texte = I have a field called price setup as a float. An item costing $20.00 would show in the table as simply 20. I need to format the price to 2 decimal places. When I run the following query, I get a weird number like 1078034432: SELECT thumb,title,itemid,price FROM items where viewable='Yes' ORDER BY RAND() limit 2; When I try to format the field in the following query, I get nothing: SELECT thumb,title,itemid,price,FORMAT(price,2) FROM items where viewable='Yes' ORDER BY RAND() limit 2; On 8/21/05 6:21 AM, "Thierry Almy"
