Note: The money type is deprecated. Use numeric
or decimal instead, in combination with the to_char
function. The money type may become a locale-aware layer over the numeric
type in a future release.
The money type stores a currency amount with fixed decimal point
representation; see Table
5-3. The output format is locale-specific.
Input is accepted in a variety of formats, including integer and floating-point literals,
as well as "typical" currency formatting, such as '$1,000.00'. Output is in the latter form.
