Hi All,

I have a strange error when trying to insert into a table with 2
'double' fields.  It inserts into the 1st field OK but fills the 2nd one
with nines.  See below for a complete recreate.
[...]
| lon           | double(7,6)  | YES  | MUL | NULL    |                |
| lat           | double(7,6)  | YES  |     | NULL    |                |

From the manual:

DOUBLE[(M,D)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]

M is the total number of decimal digits and D is the number of digits following the decimal point.

mysql> select * from table1 where id=8002\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
           id: 8002

          lon: -0.361080
          lat: 9.999999

You have created your columns with a max width of 7, out of which 6 are decimals, but you are trying to insert a number with 8 digits.
