not a bug, expected behavior: mysql> insert into f5 values(1); Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec) mysql> show warnings; +---------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+ | Level | Code | Message | +---------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+ | Warning | 1264 | Out of range value adjusted for column 'f' at row 1 | +---------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) use strict sql mode if you want to avoid this kind of auto conversion

for a mysql begginer it's not simple like we know, making a friendly change on field type could be more friendly for dummies

Description: float(5,5) can cause problems to users like insert a field with value 1.0000 and then selecting it, we have a return of 0.99999 (aproximate), but changin to float(6,5) this error get out! :P could we change for example: alter table blablabla change field field float(m,n) not null default '0'; if (n>0 AND n=m) if (m==MAX_m_SIZE) n--; else m++ How to repeat: create a table with float(5,5), insert 1.0000, and then select it Suggested fix: a user friendly alter table change
