    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is possible to have a custom field for blog entries like
  &amp;quot;latitude&amp;quot; but stored in database as &amp;quot;decimal&amp;quot; and
  not as &amp;quot;LONGTEXT&amp;quot; ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe stored in an other table?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think &amp;quot;decimal&amp;quot; is better for query performances&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</summary>
