So i have a SQL table setup as such

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `points` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `lat` float(10,6) NOT NULL,
  `lng` float(10,6) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;

And im inserting stuff like

INSERT INTO `points` (`lat`, `lng`) VALUES ('89.123456','-12.123456');

Gives me a row with lat and lng being 89.123459 and -12.123455

Whats up?
