I wonder if it is only question of configuration but my MySQL server has
problems with suming of float values.
Look at that script:

# mysql  Ver 11.15 Distrib 3.23.41, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386)
# ----------------------

create table ft (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT, val FLOAT, PRIMARY KEY(id));
insert ft(val) values('3.4');
insert ft(val) values('0.3');
insert ft(val) values('1.24');

select * from ft;
select sum(val) from ft;

-----------------------------
It will generate this (at the end) :

...

mysql> select sum(val) from ft;
+-----------------+
| sum(val)        |
+-----------------+
| 4.9400001168251 |   <------------
??????????????????????????????????????????
+-----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

-----------------------------

Is it repeatable in someone else's MySQL server ?
