Hello, I have a table with a field with the format of 8 decimals. When I make a select to that table instead is given me (for example) 25,00 it gaves me 25,00000000. How can I fix the with the correct format? Thanks in advance.

Are you wanting to change the data type in the table? Or just display it differently when you select data out of it?

Where do you want to show data?
You can use
select cast(col as decimal(12,2)) from table
