All (recent, at least) MySQL (and alos MariaDB) versions seem affected - for instance
SELECT VERSION(); -- 5.6.14-LOG
SELECT CAST('-123.9' AS SIGNED); -- returns -123
SELECT CAST(-123.9 AS SIGNED); -- returns -124

Description: Output: ======= mysql> drop table if exists t1; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec) mysql> create table t1(c1 int); insert into t1 values('-123.9'); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec) mysql> insert into t1 values('-123.9'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> select c1, cast('-123.9' as signed) from t1; +------+--------------------------+ | c1 | cast('-123.9' as signed) | +------+--------------------------+ | -124 | -123 | +------+--------------------------+ 1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec) mysql> mysql> mysql> select version(); +-----------+ | version() | +-----------+ | 5.7.8-rc | +-----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Problem: ======== In this example, in select list, c1 and "cast('-123.9' as signed)" are expected to return consistent result -124. How to repeat: drop table if exists t1; create table t1(c1 int); insert into t1 values('-123.9'); select c1, cast('-123.9' as signed) from t1; Suggested fix: In this example, in select list, c1 and "cast('-123.9' as signed)" are expected to return consistent result -124.
