Hello All, Can anyone tell me whether I can represent fractions in MySQL 4. I have data representing different lengths of objects measured in inches. Can I load this data as is into a field in MySQL and still retain the same value or do I have to convert it first to a float or decimal value?? What type of data type will the field be bigint, int, decimal??? The measurements are small, for example 2 1/2 inches, 3 1/8 inches.
