Can't use Select statement to find float value....

[handlesomething]

Statement:

Select * from my_table where col_3 = 7.15;

doesn't work---The column is a FLOAT type and there is a value in the table in col_3 of 7.15. Statement runs but returns an empty set.

Select * from my_table where col_3 = '7.15';

Thanks for the reply, but I just found the answer elsewhere on the forum. The problem is that the FLOAT data type rounds the numbers. I needed to use the DECIMAL data type. ex. DECIMAL(4,2) which would allow for a decimal up to 99.99 with 2 decimal places.
