title: how can I disable exponential notation when selecting a float from MySQL?
body: <p>I have a FLOAT column that contains some very small numbers like 0.00000000000234</p>
  
  <p>When I select them in MySQL, I get them back in exponential notation like 2.34e-13. Is there any way I can modify the formatting of these numbers to force MySQL to return it as 0.00000000000234 ? </p>
  
  <p>Ultimately what I'd be looking to do is modify the display, not the underlying representation of the number. So it would probably be a display or formatting setting. MySQL has a FORMAT() function, but it's nothing like what I want (it puts numbers in format like 123,456.78). </p>
