Extend precision of MySQL's double datatype?
- by tim82
I am trying to save the value "6.714285714285714" into a DOUBLE datatype field.
Unfortunately it does not fit at all and is cutted by one char. Storing larger numbers becomes less precise.
Already searched in the mysql manual and it seems to be that double is the most precise data type available. Anyone knows a practicable workaround?
Sorry for my bad english and thx a lot!
