Hi,
I have a situation where I need to store a decimal number in the database (max digits after decimal point is 2).

Which is recommended in this case - datatype float, decimal or numberic?

What exactly are the advantages/disadvantages of each of those?

Looking for some practical problems.(I did refer the BOL already.

Thanks
