I have a really stupid SQL question that I can not find the answer. I can create a table with an attribute of type money. However, I do not know the form of the data to insert. No matter what I try I get a WARN: bad external money representation xxxx. Can anybody help me?
I can't find in the documentation what data types are supported.
Thanks

There is quite a bit in the new html or hardcopy documentation. To get
it installed, go to the doc/ directory and type "make install". After
that, you should see a directory called "postgres" which includes all of
this new documentation in one html tree. Look for the chapter in the
User's Guide on Data Types...
