I'm trying to understand what is the recommended data type for $ in PostgreSQL. I've done some research and from what I've gathered, there are a few options: 1. decimal 2. money I've read the 'money' data type is non-standard and I should avoid using this. I see it a bunch of Microsoft SQL Server which I assume works great but I'm using PostgreSQL and want to make sure I'm ANSI SQL compliant. I would normally just use 'decimal' however when I'm in doubt, I use pgAdmin3 as a cheat sheet and upon building a new column, under 'data type', there is no option for decimal but there is for money. I'm very confused as I assumed 'money' was a non-standard option for SQL Server and 'decimal' was the correct value but it's not an option in the pgAdmin3 GUI.
