Hi,

I've been struggeling with floating point numbers for a couple of days, and
in the process reading up on the different numeric types in the online docs.
I came across what I think is a serious inconsistency.

<URL: http://www.mysql.com/doc/N/u/Numeric_types.html >

This page describes DECIMAL (and NUMERIC) as an exact precission type.

<URL: http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/r/Problems_with_float.html >

This page includes DECIMAL as one of the approximate numeric types, and does
not mention NUMERIC.
