MySQL “greater than” condition sometimes returns row with equal value

Question

I\'m running into a baffling issue with a basic MySQL query.

This is my table:

id | rating
1  | 1317.17
2  | 1280.59
3  | 995.12
4  | 973.88
<         


        

Answer 1

You do not need the single quotes when you're comparing numbers.

Take the single quotes off and try again.

However, this has been noted as something you can solve with ROUND(SUM(column), 2) * 1

if the single quotes don't work, compare it to the value of this ^^
