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)
