How to insert DECIMAL into MySQL database?
To insert decimal into MySQL, you can use DECIMAL() function from MySQL. The syntax is as follows
yourColumnName DECIMAL(TotalDigit,DigitAfterDecimalPoint);
To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows
mysql> create table DecimalInsert
-> (
-> Id int,
-> Name varchar(100),
-> Amount DECIMAL(4,2)
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.65 sec)
Insert the decimal value using insert command. The query is as follows
mysql> insert into DecimalInsert values(1,’John’,12.4);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DecimalInsert values(2,’Carol’,12.34);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DecimalInsert values(3,’Mike’,1.424);
Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.17 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows
mysql> select *from DecimalInsert;
The following is the output
+——+——-+——–+
| Id | Name | Amount |
+——+——-+——–+
| 1 | John | 12.40 |
| 2 | Carol | 12.34 |
| 3 | Mike | 1.42 |
+——+——-+——–+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
