I have confirmed that this problem exhibits itself on the Mysql AB
compiled binaries that are compiled with gcc, both Standard and Max, but
does _not_ exhibit itself on the Mysql AB binary built with the Intel C++
Compiler 8.1 (mysql-standard-4.1.12-pc-linux-gnu-i686-icc-glibc23.tar.gz).
I have also verifed that the problem does _not_ exhibit on the mysql-4.12
server in Debian stable (Sarge), nor in Gentoo's latest ebuild.

I believe this problem likely stems from a compiler problem with the version
(2.95.3 20010315 SuSE) of GCC that Mysql AB compiles with.

Description:

 There appears to be a type promotion problem involving sql statements which 
include a 'between' comparison and a decimal type field is one of the operands.

How-To-Repeat:

CREATE TABLE `foo1` (
 `test1` decimal(7,2) NOT NULL default '0.00',
 `test2` decimal(7,2) NOT NULL default '0.00'
);

INSERT INTO `foo1` (`test1`, `test2`) VALUES ('97.50','154.30');

CREATE TABLE `foo2` (
 `test1` decimal(7,2) NOT NULL default '0.00',
 `test2` decimal(7,2) NOT NULL default '0.00'
);

INSERT INTO `foo2` (`test1`, `test2`) VALUES ('154.30','154.30');

CREATE TABLE `foo3` (
 `test1` float(7,2) NOT NULL default '0.00',
 `test2` float(7,2) NOT NULL default '0.00'
);

INSERT INTO `foo3` (`test1`, `test2`) VALUES (97.50,154.30);

CREATE TABLE `foo4` (
 `test1` float(7,2) NOT NULL default '0.00',
 `test2` float(7,2) NOT NULL default '0.00'
);

INSERT INTO `foo4` (`test1`, `test2`) VALUES (154.30,154.30);

select * from foo1 left join foo2 on foo2.test1 between foo1.test1 and
foo1.test2;
+-------+--------+-------+-------+
| test1 | test2  | test1 | test2 |
+-------+--------+-------+-------+
| 97.50 | 154.30 |  NULL |  NULL |
+-------+--------+-------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

select * from foo3 left join foo4 on foo4.test2 between foo3.test1 and
foo3.test2;
+-------+--------+--------+--------+
| test1 | test2  | test1  | test2  |
+-------+--------+--------+--------+
| 97.50 | 154.30 | 154.30 | 154.30 |
+-------+--------+--------+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from foo1 where test1 between 97.50 and 154.30;
+-------+--------+
| test1 | test2  |
+-------+--------+
| 97.50 | 154.30 |
+-------+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from foo1 where 154.30 between test1 and test2;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from foo1 where test2 between 154.30 and test2;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

Fix:

A work around is to include OR conditions that are equal comparisons to the
boundary condition of the BETWEEN.   This query demonstrates a work around.

mysql> select * from foo1 where test2 between 154.30 and test2 or 154.30=test2;
+-------+--------+
| test1 | test2  |
+-------+--------+
| 97.50 | 154.30 |
+-------+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
