To summarize it for posterity:

I wasn't able to appreciate if any change I was doing to the type used
(NUMERIC(N, M) or FLOAT or DOUBLE) in SQL operations was effective since
all I could get out from the DB was 2 decimals either in "simple" format
(1234567898,31) or scientific format (6,23E+015).

Not being able to see any change tricked me into thinking that no
matter what type I was using there was no effect on precision since I'm
used to something like:

test=# select 1.01::numeric(4,2)*2.02::numeric(4,2);
 ?column? 
----------
   2.0402
(1 row)

The problem was just a problem of output format that can be set once
you run the query, and in the result window right click on the column
name and change the format.


Thanks for the moral support anyway.
