I'm creating a table using a Select statement and several of the columns are mathematical expressions. Unfortunately MySQL 5.0 creates them as Decimal and I don't need that much precision. Is there a way to force MySQL to create these columns as float?

Example:

create table x1 select 123.1*2.1 as Colx;

This creates Colx as Decimal and I'd like to have it as a Float. Is there a way to force it to use Float?

TIA
Mike
