Upgrading from 0.3.0 to 1.0.0-beta-2 resolved [a memory leak issue](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-node-mysql-0-3-0-is-causing-a-memory-leak/53999) I had, but I got another issue - numbers stored in database as DECIMAL (x, y) are now returning in SQL query results as strings (see highlighted on picture below) and I was forced to add type conversion to my code.

I beleive data which are stored in database in numeric formats should be returned in SQL query results as numbers but not strings. Adding values without type conversion I was getting concatenated strings ("43.070237.640" for values highlighted on the picture above) instead of sum of numbers. Please fix.  
Thanks.
