Hi!

Please try your query on 3.23.37, built by us, if possible. 

If a problem repeats, please send us a repeatable test case.

Query failing

2001-04-15 Thread List Box


MySQL is not giving expected results in queries:

The table has a decimal field, 'tolong', with a 13 char size and 8 
decimal places.

I know from browsing that the table contains many records with 
'tolong' values less than -120, as low as -124.

The query
select * from Tiger_main
where tolong < -120;

results in no records being retrieved.   
The same query, with reference value -119.8 yeilds no
records returned.
The same query, with reference value -119.7 returns a large number
of records, including several which should have been returned by
the prior queries, with tolong values less than -120.

The table is fairly large, with over 5 million records and 500 MBytes, 
and the tolong field is individually indexed.  

The server is MySQL 3.23.22-beta-log.

Can anybody provide any insight into what the problem might be?
