Schema

postgresql/no-money-type

Forbid the money column type.

  • Type problem
  • Recommended error
  • Fixable no

Why this matters

The `money` type's output depends on the server's `lc_monetary` locale setting, so the same row prints differently on different servers. The PostgreSQL recommendation is `numeric` plus a separate currency column.

Examples

Incorrect

Incorrect
CREATE TABLE t (price MONEY);

Correct

Correct
CREATE TABLE t (price NUMERIC(10, 2), currency CHAR(3));
