Hi, I''m trying to handle money within an online store I''m building and I''m very stuck. I understand that using a float in the db is bad because of "rounding errors", and that storing the price as an integer is the best way forward. I know this has been brought up before on the list and I have search the archives but can''t find a good way forward.

Hiall, I''m wondering what''s common practice when dealing with money values stored in databases. I like the idea of storing all the values as integers, i.e. all the values in eurocents not euros. Then I need to multiply all values the users enter by 100 before storing them in the database. Now the question is, what''s the most efficient and dryest way to do this?

hi there, I am about to embark on a mission critical financial web application, and was wondering weather ruby on rails is the best fit for this type of project. More specifically I am worried about floating point errors. Would it be more appropriate to use a more statically typed framework (.NET)? thankyou. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
