Can anyone think of any reason to keep the biblioitems.dewey column as a
DOUBLE(8,6) type? After installing 2.2.3, I still had problems with this
bug, so I did:
ALTER TABLE biblioitems MODIFY dewey VARCHAR(10)
Everything seems to be working fine -- at least I have yet to find any
problems created by this change. Is the dewey column ever part of any
numeric functions? If we make this change to the biblioitems table, can
we close this bug?
Yep, lets do that.
Ive made this change to the recent 2.2.x installs ive done, with no ill
effects thus far. All I suggest is we make it a varchar(50) or something
a bit larger than 10. But making it a varchar of some point is a lot
better than have it a double.
