oracle - Rounding to 2 decimal places in SQL

Question

every time I want to round to 2 decimal places when it comes to zeros it doesnt want to round it... how could I round it to 2 decimal places with zeros at the end which would give me 92.00 instead of just 92 ???

SELECT ROUND(COLUMN_NAME,2) FROM ....

it's giving me

COLUMN_NAME
92

but I want

COLUMN_NAME
92.00

I used TO_CHAR and it worked

ROUND(TO_CHAR(COLUMN_NAME),2)

thanks guys!

Answer 1

you may try the TO_CHAR function to convert the result

e.g.

SELECT TO_CHAR(92, '99.99') AS RES FROM DUAL

SELECT TO_CHAR(92.258, '99.99') AS RES FROM DUAL

Hope it helps
