Oftentimes standard practice is to round up if the digit before the 5 is odd, and round down if it's even. (This averages out the bias you otherwise get with 5/4 rounding.) To see if this is what you're seeing, try rounding 0.012335 to 5 places...I bet it'll round up to 0.01234. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
