  There are a number of ways you can do this. Here is one of them.

  FLOOR((34.456 * 100)) / 100.0

  The .0 is important here or you will have integer math and will end up with 34.

  Here is another one. I am sure some other will come along and soon you will have a dozen ways to do this.

  cast(34.456 * 100 as int) / 100.0
