Hi Andrew,

I just did this (v 3.23.52):

  mysql> create table dd ( myfloat decimal(6,2))
  mysql> insert into dd (myfloat) values (56.123456789), (1234.5678);

  mysql> select * from dd;
  +---------+
  | myfloat |
  +---------+
  | 1234.57 |
  |   56.12 |
  +---------+

  mysql> select sum(myfloat) from dd;
  +--------------+
  | sum(myfloat) |
  +--------------+
  |      1290.69 |
  +--------------+

Unless I'm missing something, this works as it should.
