Added portion mentioning that the conversion was to a TIME value.

Description: SELECT CAST(+3.3E+0 AS TIME); CAST(+3.3E+0 AS TIME) 00:00:03.300000 (1), (2), (3) But the manual says: MySQL retrieves and displays TIME values in 'HH:MM:SS' format. So the value above violates the specification from the manual. SELECT CAST(-1.7976931348623e+308 AS TIME); CAST(-1.7976931348623e+308 AS TIME) -00:00:01.96520853 (1) ### There is the annoying fraction, but the value differs also from the mantissa of the double. -00:00:01 (2) -00:00:01.797693 (3) Warning 1292 Truncated incorrect time value: '-1.7976931348623e+308' (3) I do not know, if (1) and (2) get also this warning. (1) Windows XP Prof. + MySQL 5.0.10a-beta-nt-log Win32 Box of CarstenS (2) Win XP with VMware, SuSE 9.3 within VM + MySQL 5.0 binaries around 31 July Box of OBN (3) SuSE 9.3 + MySQL 5.0 compiled from source I had these results with last Changeset around 15 July and have them today last ChangeSet@1.1960, 2005-08-08 5.0.12-beta-debug-log suse-linux How to repeat: Please execute the statements above.
