SQLite format number with 2 decimal places always

Question

I have some tables in a SQLite database that contains FLOAT column type, now i want to retrieve the value with a Query and format the float field always with 2 decimal place

Answer 1

You could try Select Str(12345.6789, 12, 3)

displays: ' 12345.679'

( 3 spaces, 5 digits 12345, a decimal point, and three decimal digits (679). - it rounds if it has to truncate, (unless the integer part is too large for the total size, in which case asterisks are displayed instead.)

for a Total of 12 characters, with 3 to the right of decimal point.
