Hi all. 
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to configure MySQL so that when 
inserts occur on decimal fields where the value being inserted has more 
precision than the field specification, then the value inserted is rounded 
instead of truncated.

For example, if i have a column:
Acres DECIMAL(14,3) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0

and i'm inserting the value '1.5467'

currently, the value 1.546 is inserted.

But i want the behaviour to round this number to 1.547

Is this possible, or will i have to do that manually (programmatically) for 
all the decimal fields that i want to behave this way.

Note: The application htat i need this for is driven by Perl with the DBI / 
DBD::MySQL

Thanks much
