        Read the original article
        Hit count: 296
        
So i have a SQL table setup as such
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `points` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `lat` float(10,6) NOT NULL,
  `lng` float(10,6) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
And im inserting stuff like
INSERT INTO `points` (`lat`, `lng`) VALUES ('89.123456','-12.123456');
Gives me a row with lat and lng being 89.123459 and -12.123455
Whats up?
