Was wondering if anyone could me with this little problem I'm having.
I'd like to have a comma separator after every 3 digits. E.g "3,000,000".
How would i go about this?

Not really a MySQL problem, this is a presentation problem. MySQL will
store the number as digits only (unless you are storing in a character
field - but why would you?). If using PHP, for instance, the output of
the field would be

number_format($fieldvalue)

or if you want the answer to two decimal places

number_format($fieldvalue, 2)
