Everyone,

Just ran across an odd situation.
I have defined a field:

amount | money | not null default ''

Works fine until the dollar amounts get
very large - into the tens of millions.
At that point, the actual amount stored
becomes very unpredictable.

I just saved a record via a simple
front end App. I entered 56,000,000
When I retrieved the record i got:
$13,050,327.04 !!

Any thoughts ?

ENVIRONMENT:
Linux 2.4.20-20.7smp
psql (PostgreSQL) 7.2.3

Thank you,
Terry
