Subject: Floating-point precision in displays
Date: Mon, 13 Jun 1994 16:02:08 -0500 (CDT)
Message-ID: <9406132102.AA46554@whale.st.usm.edu> (raw)

Is there a way to specify the number of decimal places
with which to display floating point numbers?

I'm using a lot of "float4"s in my db, and the postgres monitor
displays them in scientific notation--not pretty.

Is there a built-in that I'm missing, or do I need to write  
a special display function?
