Float not correct in MySQL

Question

I am entering \'35444650.00\' as a float into my MySQL and it keeps reformatting to 35444648.00, any help welcome...

Answer 1

You are going past the level of precision possible. You need to define the float with more precision, i.e. "FLOAT(10,5)" would mean a float that can have 10 digits total with up to five after the decimal point.
