Question

I am trying to select some values from mysql with the next sentence:

SELECT 
  id, lead_id, form_id, field_number, value 
FROM 
  wp_rg_lead_detail 
WHERE 
  field_number IN (6.3, 6.6, 11, 12, 17, 14) 
ORDER BY 
  lead_id, field_number

the field field_number is a float and the select is listing just the 11, 12, 17 and 14 fields but not values from the 6.3 and 6.6

What is wrong with the sentence?

Thanks.

There is nothing wrong with the query. The problem is that float is not precise type. Use decimal instead (or change the query to something like ... WHERE (field_number BETWEEN 6.2999 AND 6.3001) OR (field_number BETWEEN 6.5999 AND 6.6001 OR ()... )
