Handling differences between MS-SQL and PostgreSQL money datatypes

This is a follow-up/ to my previous question https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/183964/is-it-possible-to-insert-un-formatted-data-for-money-data-type-in-postgresql/184155#184155 1. I could read money data by typecasting it into numeric SELECT '52093.89'::money::numeric Will it give inconsistent data, rounded etc.. ? 2. As per ISO standard, the money datatype size is (19,4) but why PostgreSQL returns size as 2147483647? Is this size locale dependent? 3. Is it a good idea to use the money datatype to store/retrieve locale specific values? If not, when is the money datatype best suitable? I have to use the money datatype for certain cases. My worry is will I get any problems if I treat money datatype values as decimal values? I don't bother about locale specific values such as symbol, digit, and decimal grouping etc.. Can I store money datatype values as per lc_monetary settings and reading by typecasting it to numeric?
