Interesting issue...

I am extracting a price from an XML feed for insertion into our local data.
The price is returned as a simple float value which I can output to screen
just fine.  Unfortunately when I insert the info into the database it gets a
little messed up.

Here are 5 inserted values from a small test run...

19.989999999999998
15.99
9.9900000000000002
14.99
39.990000000000002

As you can see, 2 of them inserted fine but 3 of them got inserted with a
0.000000000000002 margin of error.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

FYI: This is going into MSSQL but I get the same problems with MySQL so I
don't think it is a DB issue.
