This is also a problem with the BDE & also with libpq. The odbc driver
could/should? fix this, but then what about libpq? The docs say the money
type is going away someday. Should we avoid using it? I believe a proper
fix involves both the backend & frontends. Forcing quotes around a numeric
value throws everyone off. Developer comments?
