Hi all

I know that floating point is not precise and not suitable for financial uses. 
Even so, I am curious about the following -

SQLite version 3.26.0 2018-12-01 12:34:55
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
Connected to a transient in-memory database.
Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database.
sqlite> .open /sqlite_db/ccc
sqlite> select sum(amount_cust) from ar_trans where cust_row_id = 4 and 
tran_date between '2015-05-01' and '2015-05-31';
211496.26

Python 3.7.0 (v3.7.0:1bf9cc5093, Jun 27 2018, 04:59:51) [MSC v.1914 64 bit 
(AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sqlite3
>>> sqlite3.sqlite_version
'3.26.0'
>>> conn = sqlite3.connect('/sqlite_db/ccc')
>>> cur = conn.cursor()
>>> cur.execute("select sum(amount_cust) from ar_trans where cust_row_id = 4 
>>> and tran_date between '2015-05-01' and '2015-05-31'")
<sqlite3.Cursor object at 0x000002C1D6BBCF80>
>>> cur.fetchone()
(211496.25999999992,)

With the same version of sqlite3 and the same select statement, why does python 
return a different result from sqlite3.exe?

Thanks

Frank Millman
