what you probably looking for is formatting the output into a string. Postgresql will store it as 2.3, because that is what 2.30 is anyway. Its up to you to format it before passing it on to the user/business logic/whatever. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
