title: mysql datatype for numbers maximum character length 19 precison 17
body: <p>Was wondering if someone could help me on a data type questions for mysql. I would like to be able to load in numbers with maximum character length of 19 but with a maximum precision of 17 (so can have 17 digits after the decimal). I have tried using float(19,17) and decimal(19,17) but when i try loading a number such as 02.11111111112222222 it will not capture the full number. Thanks in advance</p>
