Question

I have a column in my MySQL database (ex. salary). Datatype is DECIMAL(8,2). I noticed that it doesn’t have a thousand separator.

How would I select the whole column and put a thousands separator in each record?

Answer 1

You can do it with the help of the Format Function in this way :

SELECT FORMAT(col_name, 2) FROM table;

You can also specify a locale(for example italian) :

SELECT FORMAT(col_name, 2, 'it_IT') FROM table;
