The problem is that you are using MySQL 3.22, which didn't have support for the true floating point format. The fix is to upgrade to 3.23 and define the column as

I am wondering what is the accuracy of 3.22.XX for floating point numbers. I have a number of fields defined as Float(4). The most accurate number stored is to 3 decimal places, ie. 34.695

Will I run into problems?
