How to round an average to 2 decimal places in PostgreSQL?

Question

I am using PostgreSQL via the Ruby gem \'sequel\'.

I\'m trying to round to two decimal places.

Here\'s my code:

SELECT ROUND(AVG(some_column)         


        

Answer 1

Try casting your column to a numeric like:

SELECT ROUND(cast(some_column as numeric),2) FROM table

Answer 2

Try with this:

SELECT to_char (2/3::float, 'FM999999990.00');
-- RESULT: 0.67

Or simply:

SELECT round (2/3::DECIMAL, 2)::TEXT
-- RESULT: 0.67
