Hi Priya,

You can choose Decimal datatype, Please refer this documentation FYR.

Thanks

Hi there Priya,

You can choose whatever it suits best for your business requirements, since they are essentially the same, as described here:

"They are essentially the same. However, having a currency entity attribute will help you a bit while doing scaffolding patterns, as these fields will be automatically formatted as currency. And it kind of helps to document your data model, as you're adding a bit more information about the role of a specific attribute. "

KR,

João

Hi there Priya,

The same thought has came in my mind when I was saving the money value in my db .. I have created the decimal data type there I have faced the problem to do the formatting on that .. latter on I have changed into currency itself .. 

So suggestion is that you go for Currency data type 

Kind regards

Hello

 it is better to store dollar values using the **Decimal** datatype. This ensures precision and accuracy for financial calculations and avoids issues with rounding errors that can occur with floating-point types. The **Currency** datatype is not available  making **Decimal** the appropriate choice.

I hope it helps!

As @João Sousa mentioned, both are essentially the same.

Use Currency for the sake of these benefits:

1. scaffolding

2. make your data model more clearer to read
