Question

I created a table Place in mysql. In this table there are three fields.

1. Place_Name varchar(20)
2. latitude  decimal(15,12)
3. longitude decimal(15,12)

There is a problem occurred when user inserted value like as 55636.1232 in latitude or in longitude.

Because this value is above the range of capacity of these fields. Because i allowed 3

digit before decimal point while user is trying to enter more than 3 digit before decimal

points. In this case 999.999999999999 value is inserted but i want to insert my default

value if user do such type of mistake.

I want that when user do this type of mistake then my default value should be entered in that record.

Please help me what should i do to solve such type of problem. I am waiting for your suggestions.

Thank you in advance.

You should set SQL Mode to strict_all_tables by executing

SET sql_mode='STRICT_ALL_TABLES';

This will prevent from entering invalid data and on violation will throw this MySQL error:

Out of range value for column ‘latitude’ at row 1
