float data
I am assuming that the question is "What would the best data type to represent a price".Although this is open for debate, in Java I think that the best data type for a price is double and the best data type in C# to be decimal.I hope this answers your question.
Direct access allows data to be retrieved instantly without having to sequentially search through other items stored before the desired data item. This method enables quick and efficient retrieval of specific data items from a storage device.
Text is the default data type in MS Access.
The data type that stores web addresses (URLs) in Access is typically a "Hyperlink" data type. This data type allows users to store and access web addresses as clickable links within the database.
Data Type indicates the type of data that can be stored in a field.

In Access and in databases in general each field in a database table is of a certain data type. The data type determines what type of data a field can hold. A field of the text data type can hold text, a field of the number data type can hold numbers and a field of the data/time data type can hold date and time values.Access actively checks what type of data is entered into a field and Access will disallow the entry of data into a field that doesn't conform to the field's data type. Access won't allow you to put text into a field of the Number data type, for example.So, data types are a way to restrict the entry of data into a field. Internally, the database uses different strategies for the storage and retrieval of different data types.
No, "text" is not an access data type. In Microsoft Access, commonly used data types include Text, Number, Date/Time, Memo, and Yes/No among others. Text is used to store alphanumeric data such as names or descriptions.
