If I only could find a way to do it in SQLObject without having to
resort to database driver patching, that would be perfect :-) But
unfortunately, things are not that easy, unless I store all my money
values in text columns - but then I'll lose big on SQL aggregation
functions & stuff like that. But I'm really tempted to do it, just to
avoid messing with db drivers for now.
