No, I really meant my SELECT. MySQL counted the 3 values together but
instead of coming to the conclusion that the sum is zero it showed me
-0.00 as output by in a comparision to 0 the "output" of the sum(deci)
was *not* 0 but something different.
(I wanted to see how many customers with open or unbalanced invoices we
have and mysql always gave me a much to high number because it made
rouding errors when adding the sums)
