I'm running MySQL through the field tests I introduced recently and it
is failing due to a bad fieldtypemysql.xml file. The file defines the
floating-point type like this:
<field-type-def type="floating-point" sql-type="DECIMAL(18,6)"
java-type="Double"><validate method="isSignedDouble"/></field-type-def>
When a floating point number is stored in that type of field, an
exception is thrown due to data truncation.
The correct entry is:
<field-type-def type="floating-point" sql-type="DOUBLE"
java-type="Double"><validate method="isSignedDouble"/></field-type-def>
but changing it in the trunk is going to cause problems for anyone using
MySQL.
Any thoughts on what we should do?
