sql - MySQL - Decimal(M,D) vs Double(M,D) -


well, know question has been asked several times.. but, still don't satisfied explanation, on why must use decimal monetary purpose.. far know,

  1. decimal can save larger number double
  2. decimal stores exact value , double store approx. value

so, can explain , maybe give actual result in query about,

  1. what mean exact value , approx. value?
  2. why should use decimal monetary purpose ?

currently i'm using double(15,2) gives enough precision boss. besides ran test in sqlfiddle , don't see precision issue..

tested query:

create table test(   value1 decimal(15,4),   value2 double(15,4)   );  insert test values(0.0001, 0.0001),                        (123.123, 123.123),                         (0.0000001, 0.0000001);  select sum(value1), sum(value2) test

result

sum(value1) sum(value2) 123.1231    123.1231

Image
i looking create highchart multi-colored line. if goes down under value, become red, , when comes on value, become green . here picture example: or maybe highcharts have other charts models differentiate high or low level color? you can achieve coloring using lineargradient coloring: color: { lineargradient: { x1: 0, x2: 0, y1: 0, y2: 1 }, stops: [ [0, 'red'], [0.25, 'yellow'], [0.50, 'green'], [0.75, 'yellow'], [1, 'red'] ] } here 0 in stops relates minimum value of series , 1 maximum value, , in between percentages between values. if find percentages according values prior creating chart use correct stops values make relate specific values in data (at least approximately). see this jsfiddle example .
