Best Data Type for...

What is the best data type to use to store numbers with limited decimal
places - ie. 1.25?
ThanksKeith,
Decimal or Numeric will do, eg numeric(10,2). They have 2 arguments -
precision and scale, with scale referring to the maximum number of decimal
places (2 in the example above). Have a look in BOL at "decimal data type,
overview".
