What is to be used to store floats in MySQL?

To store floats in MySQL, you can use the concept of DECIMAL(). Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
   (
   Price DECIMAL(10,2)
   );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.59 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(874674.50);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.39 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(9948984.20);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(12345678.99);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

Output

| 874674.50   |
