megz90 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 im very confused. i have a mysql table the firld type decimal(5,2) Unsigned not null ..... does this mean i can have 5 digits and 2 after the decimal point or max 5 digits (3 before and 2 after point) ive read 3 different websites and now im confused cus they have all said different things. i think my confusion is because of the changes in different mysql versions... im using version: 5.0.45 thanks anyone who knows.
