Missing a mysql compatibility difference
- Describe your suggestion or addition.
TiDB is not always the same as MySQL when converting decimal/float values to numerics. Both are correct according to the SQL standard, but MySQL may differ.
- Provide some reference materials (documents, websites, etc) if you could.
