| Do you usually use the money or smallmoney datatype for US dollars in a table, or do you use a decimal datatype, and if so which. Any opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of each?If you use money or smallmoney, do you usually add a constraint to make sure the value is even to the penny (no $24.3487 type amounts)?CODO ERGO SUM |

I use MONEY or SMALLMONEY for all currency handling, because this is internally an integer and works faster.And I let the front-end client application deal with values constraints.
