title: SQL - Which data type represents percentages well?
body: <p>In SQL I am looking at <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187752.aspx" rel="nofollow">decimal and float</a>.  Float says it is an approximation.  I need to store percentages.  They don't have to be very large or small.  Some examples are</p>
  
  <pre><code>60.2
  
  40
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which data type should I use?</p>
