Storing float as integer in a database

[ichabod801]

I don't know about names. We did this at my old job with survey weights, but I'm not aware of any commonly used terms for it. How about a generalized form called int_power:

def int_power(n, pow):
    if pow >= 0:
        return int(round(n * 10 ** pow, 0))
    else:
        return n * 10 ** pow
