Currency modeling in database
A very naive question. I need to store currency in the database. Both the value and the code. To solve this, do people generally make 2 columns, one storing the value and other the code? Or is there an inbuilt type I can use? -thanks WW. You will need to use two columns. I would store the monetary amount in one column and the alpha currency code in another column. In some cases, you will have multiple amounts on a single row. e.g. shipping amount and tax amount may both be on the invoice record. You will need to decide if these will share the same currency or if you need two columns. You
