in thread DBD::ODBC and binding to a money column

It's not actually a bug in the odbc driver or in the DBD::ODBC module. The money datatype is in truth a float. It is not unusual to explicitly state the datatype as Michael Peppler wrote in another reply. This 'issue' is a non-issue ... it is probably preferrable to state the datatype when binding a column if the datatype is known.

Switching DBMSs (opensource or commercial) is overkill. I won't get into the whole opensource vs commercial dbms's as it really isn't relevant here.
