    Description

      This query returns a correct result:

      select cast('0e111111111' AS DECIMAL(38,0)) AS a;
      

      +---+
      | a |
      +---+
      | 0 |
      +---+
      1 row in set (0.000 sec)
      

      Let's add one more digits to the exponent:

      select cast('0e1111111111' AS DECIMAL(38,0)) AS a;
      

      +----------------------------------------+
      | a                                      |
      +----------------------------------------+
      | 99999999999999999999999999999999999999 |
      +----------------------------------------+
      1 row in set, 3 warnings (0.001 sec)
      

      Opps. Looks wrong. 0 multiplied to 10^1111111111 should still be 0.

      show warnings;
