    Description

      CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 AS SELECT COALESCE(10.1,CAST(10 AS UNSIGNED)) AS a;
      SHOW CREATE TABLE t1;

      returns

      +-------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | Table | Create Table                                                                                         |
      +-------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | t1    | CREATE TABLE `t1` (
        `a` decimal(3,1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.0'
      ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 |
      +-------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

      Now if I join the same arguments in UNION:

      CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 AS SELECT 10.1 AS a UNION SELECT CAST(10 AS UNSIGNED);
      SHOW CREATE TABLE t1;

      it returns:

      +-------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | Table | Create Table                                                                                          |
      +-------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | t1    | CREATE TABLE `t1` (
        `a` decimal(18,1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.0'
      ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 |
      +-------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

      DECIMAL(18,1) for these arguments looks too huge.
      UNION should create DECIMAL(3,1), like COALESCE does.
