Float(m,n) Changed Between Mysql 4.0 And 5.0?
I have a float(11,10) field (default NULL) in one of my MyISAM tables. With MySQL 4.0.16, I can call an Update/Insert query with a value of , say 33.166668 to this field, and it updates correctly. When I retrieve that value again with a select statement, I get something like 33.1666668392 (10 digits after decimal). Which is correct. (The sql_mode server variable is set to 0)
With the same field in MySQL 5.0, my experience is different. With the server sql_mode set to one of the strict values( SQL_TRANS_STRICT), i get an error about out of range value for the float field. when I change the sql_mode to not have the SQL_TRANS_STRICT, I get the same error as a warning, 1264 "Out of range...". When I retrieve this value, it is set to 10.0000000000, which is wrong. But , when I change the field description to float(11,5) and do an update, the value is updated right, but I get an intermittent "No rows updated" error.
Could anybody please explain if the float definitions changed between versions? Does float(m,n) now mean that I can have only (m-n) digits before decimal point?

Mysql Appears To Have Changed The 'password' Function Hashing
I've been using Mysql for about 6 months but in fairly basic fashion. For a cms I have built, I have a users table, with userName and password fields. An admin can create new users, and the password is hashed using the PASSWORD() function. SQL: "INSERT INTO users VALUES ('', '$userName', PASSWORD('$userPwd')) Straight out of the book basically. Now the problem is that all this has been functioning fine on a couple of sites on external servers, plus a couple of local machines. Until today, on my main dev machine - yesterday a user could log in, today they couldn't. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed. But when I look at the hashes in the database table, they are 41 chrs, and when I add a new user, the hash is 16 characters. I know that at some stage the hash length was increased between mysql versions, but I have not updated the install (I run XAMPP for Windows 1.4.14, which appears to install php 5.0.4 and mysql 4.1.12) Is there any other reason that the hash length could change to 16? I'd like to know why this happened so that I'm prepared if it happens on the server (where it is not so easy to hack in and add new users that can log in again)

Float Rounding In MySQL
I'm trying to work out how mySQL data types handle rounding numbers... Let's say I put the number 104.853632 into a row that uses FLOAT(12,6)... I need it to keep 6 significant figures to the right of the decimal. Now for some reason, after I put this in it gives me 104.853630 ... in other words it (apparently) rounded to one higher digit than it's actually displaying! I didn't like that so I tried changing it to FLOAT(12,7)... this time it gives me 104.8536301! I can understand the 7 decimal places (as that's what I specified), but why wouldn't it be 104.8536320 ?? Can someone explain what's going on here?? I don't want it to round off at all! Just store my numbers to 6 significant figures (past the decimal... the number before the decimal can vary from 0 to the hundreds).

Changed User Privileges And Now I Can't Log In
I read several web sites and O'Reilly's book on MySQL about securing the system tables.

Now when I use phpMySdmin to get back in, it let's me past the login popup BUT it gives me the message: Error MySQL said: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) The data in the database is not important but the database structure/definition is. I'd like to find a way to back up or dump that. Then I can reload MySQL and start over.

User Information Changed
The other day someone changed every user's password on my site. Then they changed every user's email address to theirs - I assume the reason was that when the user used the password reset function, they would never see the information. I'm trying to research what/where the vulnerability is in the script that I'm suing, but I don't really know where to start - not being a hacker, I don't even know the terms to search for here or on google. Is this what is meant by mysql injection?

I am using PHP to both push data into MySQL and pull data from MySQL. To prevent such future blunders, is it good practice to store dates as CHAR data type, and actively store the date using PHP?

Replication :: Master Log File Position Changed
I have a simple master/slave replication environment that is working smoothly with one exception. If I restart the master server the Master Log File is incremented by one (e.g. the original master log is named data-bin.000001 and the new master log is named data-bin.000002) the slave server never notices that the Master Log File and the Master Log Position have changed. Instead, the slave sits there waiting for new entries in the old Master Log File. I can tell this by executing a SHOW SLAVE STATUS on the slave server. I am not sure about this because I can't find any documentation on the proper behavior of mysql during this scenario, however, I am under the impression that slave server should be able to figure this out and continue replicating, without requiring me to execute an "CHANGE MASTER..." command on the slave server every time the master is restarted. Of course, I assume this same problem will occur when the Master Log File grows to its maximum size and a new Master Log File is created. If anybody who has experience with mysql replication could just confirm that the behavior I am seeing is not correct, that would be great. Or if anybody has any suggestions as to what, if anything, is wrong with my setup. Code:

I like ... baseball is changed to - I like?baseball. Any thoughts as to why this is happening? Sometimes it is actually being changed somehow in the database, and sometimes it is correct in the database, but then changed when it displays on the web.

Float Comparison
I'm writing a simple database with one table and a few fields that lists some books. One of the fields is an Unsigned Float field that lists the book's reading level. Then I have a PHP/web page front end that users can search for books listed in the database. Basically this is the probelm I'm having: If a user asks for all the books between the reading levels 3.0 and 3.3 -- MySQL returns every record that has a reading level of 3 up to and including all the books with a reading level of 3.3. However, if a user types in the form they want all the books between 3.0 and 3.2 -- MySQL returns all the 3.0 and 3.1 books, but returns none of the 3.2 level books. The code is a simple select query that ends up being: SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE ReadingLevel >= 3 AND ReadingLevel <= 3.x

Inserting Into Float And Rounding?
I've got a couple questions and I can't seem to resolve them in the documentation. I've got a column defined as float. When I insert 689.0625 into it, it truncates the value to 689.062 on one system and 689.063 on another system. I know that ROUND() for floating-point values apparently uses the underlying C library, so you're subject to environmental factors -- I got that from the documentation. What I don't get is that SELECT ROUND(689.0625,3); on both systems returns the same value: 689.063. So ... why are inserts giving me different values than ROUND()? Is there some setting I can invoke to get consistent rounding behavior on these two systems? Secondly, when I check the information_schema.columns table, the numeric_precision is 12, with a null scale -- shouldn't this mean that all the precision of this value is retained, or is this '12' simply a placeholder that doesn't reflect the actual precision of my FLOAT?
