If, instead of those inserts I use these:
insert into float_test values (1, '6.31');
insert into float_test values (1, '6.32');
insert into float_test values (1, '6.32'::double precision);
insert into float_test values (1, '6.32'::real);
I get:
id | f_fld
----+------------------
1 | 6.31
1 | 6.32
1 | 6.32
1 | 6.32000017166138
(4 rows)
Apparently the value is being treated as a real value somewhere.
