Displays commas in type FLOAT

I'm writing a SQL script. I'd like to display the value I have in a
column of type FLOAT so that it appears with the commas in the correct
place. It displays now as 10000000.0; I'd like it to display as
10,000,000. Thanks for any help."Rick Charnes" <rickxyz--nospam.zyxcharnes@.thehartford.com> wrote in message

Your front-end application should really be doing this type of work, not the
database itself.

money (not good) and then use function "convert" to cast it to varchar with
style 1.
Example:
use northwind
go
select
convert(varchar(25), cast(cast(orderid as float) as money), 1)
from
dbo.orders
