Description
😲 Did you know PostgreSQL can round to the left of the decimal point?

In this exciting tutorial, we explore a hidden but powerful feature in PostgreSQL: negative scale in NUMERIC(p, s) types.

This feature lets you round values not to the right (like cents), but to the left—like nearest 10s, 100s, 1,000s, or even lakhs and millions.

📚 Here's what you'll learn:

What a negative scale means in a NUMERIC(p, s) column

How PostgreSQL rounds values like 15432 to 15000 or 99000

Real-world use cases: rounding financial reports, estimates, budget summaries, and anonymized data

How this feature works under the hood, and how it’s different from regular rounding

Edge case examples using NUMERIC(2, -3) and what precision still controls

How to test values using INSERT ... RETURNING *

🔍 This feature is especially useful for reporting dashboards, government data, and analytics, where high-level approximation is needed.

✅ Available since PostgreSQL 15+, this feature adds a new layer of numeric control.
