Trailing Zeros for decimal (12,2) on redshift query editor.

Question

I could not find any official AWS documentation that specifically addresses the display of trailing zeros for decimal values in the Redshift Query Editor. However, based on my testing and experience, it seems that the Query Editor does not display trailing zeros for decimal values by default.
My reporting layer requires price based on columns with 2 point precision. However, the trailing zeros aren't available. Is there a way to save them as e.g. 21.00, 10.20?

Answer

Start with TO_CHAR function to format

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/r_TO_CHAR.html
and 
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/r_Numeric_formating.html

and the following example can help you

```
SELECT TO_CHAR(your_decimal_column, 'FM9999999990.00') AS formatted_decimal
FROM your_table;
```
