Werner; The data is stored as raw as it gets. What you use to physically SEE that data is presented by 'whatever it is you use'. So SQLite3.exe is going to present it one way, as close to as raw format as possible, in as minimalistic , while tools like SQLite Expert looks at the value types and decides itself how to present the data. The same deal is with MySQL. It presents the raw data to as raw as it gets. The fact that you specify decimal(7,4) tells the MySQL engine that the output should kinda look a certain way. It doesn't store the additional zeros, it presents them to you that way. It'll actually store the additional numbers beyond the 4th decimal number, you just aren't given that.
What you're asking from the database is purely presentation and is entirely based on whatever tool you're using to call up the data. The tool you use is going to be the deciding factor on how its displayed. On top of that, SQLite3 isn't based on MySQL. So you're going to see different commands, logic and output.
