title: In MySQL 8.0, I have a column with a data field type of GEOMETRY. Why is the value from my query not being shown consistently?
body: <p>I have a field <code>random_point</code> where the data-type is <code>GEOMETRY</code>. Viewing this value as a GeoJSON, I get the following: <code>{ "type": "Point", "coordinates": [ -61.0, 13.0 ] }</code>. When I query however, why is it that I'm getting inconsistent results?</p>
  
  <p>Query: <code>SELECT ST_Latitude(random_point) FROM table ...</code></p>
  
  <p>Result: <code>-61.00000000000001</code></p>
  
  <p>Expected Result: <code>-61.0</code></p>
  
  <p>Edit: The SRID type I am using is 4326. I speculate this may something to do with the results...</p>
