Hello!
I'm trying to write some kind of small accounting software and I got stuck with the problem that doing a SUM() on values of a DECIMAL(7,2) row did show problems with (relatively) small values (like 173.58). I found a message explaining that mysql uses doubles internly to compute the values and this would explain the behaviour. Now my question is how should one go around the problem for now? I decided to use UNSIGNED INT and do a division by 100 after retrieving a value (or a multiplication by 100 before storing a value) in the language of the application (php). Is there another better way to do it?
