I'm creating a MyISAM table using a Select statement as in:

create table t2 select if(col1>col2,1.2,4.1) NewCol from t1

(Ok, the computations are a lot more complicated than that).

For some reason the column type of NewCol is Decimal and not Double. How do I force the expression column to be double? I have about a dozen columns all set to Decimal because they are expressions and I'd rather they all be double. I don't want to have to do an Alter Table after the table is created. Any ideas?

TIA
Mike
