Use DECIMAL columns with MySQLdb-1.2.0 and Python-2.4 and you should
get values back using Python's new decimal type.

This avoids floating point inaccuracies.

Hi Christopher,
if you have to make calculations or comparing operations, the only
"safe" method is to save and use only integer values.
Of course there must be a preventive agreement on the precision you
want to have (2, 3 4 ... decimals).
The sw part is straigthforward:
- to save in the database
