mysql - SQL correct definition of floating points -
i measuring values on geo-location need create table consists of:
date  longitude latitude value the date column date of measure, value int value of measure, longitude , latitude coordinates - floating points columns 3 digits before point , 5 after (i.e. *.*)
i'm wondering how define table, try use:
create table `obs` (   `id` int(11) not null auto_increment,   `date` date default null,   `lon` decimal(5,5) default null,   `lat` decimal(5,5) default null,   `val` int(11) not null,   primary key (`id`) ) engine=innodb default charset=utf8; here link sqlfiddle
but when i'm trying run
insert `obs` values (null,'2014/06/07','34.000','31.342',1) i getting following error:
out of range value column 'lon' @ row 1:
can explain me what's wrong?
decimal(5,5) means
5 decimal places in total 5 decimal places after point that make numbers invalid having decimal place before point.
you want
decimal(10,5)
