Hi Chris,

In the first case, MySQL treats the value as exact (DECIMAL); in the second, you've declared it as an approximate type (FLOAT). MySQL does not store or handle the two sorts of numbers in quite the same way.

You might find Problems with Floating-Point Values, as well as the Manual sections on DECIMAL and FLOAT, to be relevant here.

cheers,
