>I am trying to decide what type to use for VFP N type data in SQL Server. The column in VFP does hold value of dollar amount. But I don't understand the significance of Money type in SQL Server. That is, when I retrieve this data into VFP application (or .NET application for that matter) how is it different from Real type? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
We've discussed this problem few times on another site (I'll give you a reference later). The consensus is against money type in favor of decimal type. Say, decimal (19,4).
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
