      MariaDB [test]> create table i3 as select floor(a), ceil(a) from i1;
      ERROR 1264 (22003): Out of range value for column 'ceil(a)' at row 1
      MariaDB [test]> create table i3 as select floor(a) from i1;
      ERROR 1264 (22003): Out of range value for column 'floor(a)' at row 2
      

      For DECIMAL(M,0), i2 should have M=29, instead of M=28 as in the above. This is because M can exceed by 1 for FLOOR/CEIL functions, for example, when we insert the 2 rows into i1, the result of the functions would contain 29 digits, instead of 28.
