Hi,

I am new to Mysql datatype.I have created table with FLOAT data type.
I saw in MysqlDefs class that Float is map to FIELD_TYPE_FLOAT in " mysqlTo=
JavaType(String mysqlType)" method and then again FIELD_TYPE_FLOAT is map t=
o Types.REAL in "mysqlToJavaType(int mysqlType)" method

I have below question:
Why FIELD_TYPE_FLOAT is mapped to Types.REAL, can it be mapped to Types.FLO=
AT instead of Types.REAL?

I am using mysql-connector-java-5.1.34.jar to connect mysql to java.

Thanks
Santlal J. Gupta
