I have a table like this:



mysql> describe transactions;
+-----------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| cost | float(10,2) | YES | | NULL | |
+-----------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+


I (naively?) thought that would be a good way to store amounts.
I am 3 days from release, and I discovered this:



mysql> UPDATE transactions SET cost = 162295.99 WHERE id = 14891;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0

mysql> select * from transactions where id = 14891;
+-------+---------------+
| id | cost |

+-------+---------------+
| 14891 | 162295.98 |
+-------+---------------+


...?!? I entered .99, not .98!
So:




  • Why is this doing it?

  • How do I get out of this problem?


  • Would decimal work? I tried with:



    mysql> alter table transactions modify cost decimal(12,2) NULL DEFAULT NULL;
    Query OK, 1120 rows affected, 119 warnings (0.14 sec)
    Records: 1120 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 119



    mysql>




However I am getting scary warnings. With "show warnings" I get:



mysql> show warnings;
+-------+------+---------------------------------------------+
| Level | Code | Message |

| Note | 1265 | Data truncated for column 'cost' at row 10 |

| Note | 1265 | Data truncated for column 'cost' at row 402 |
| Note | 1265 | Data truncated for column 'cost' at row 403 |
+-------+------+---------------------------------------------



  • How do I see which one "row 10" is anyway?


  • KEY QUESTION: How do I get out of this hole safely?


  • (Rhetorical question bonus question) Why didn't this happen like 3 months ago, when fixing would have been easy?
