Remove trailing zeros in decimal value with changing length

Question

I have a procedure I am doing that displays odds but the client wants only significant digits to be shown. So, 1.50 would show as \'1.5\' and 1.00 would show as \'1\'.

Answer 1

EDIT: I would use the answer below by Christopher McGowan instead - adding 0 to the value, which is better, instead.

It's important to check there is actually a decimal point if doing trimming.

So I think you'd want to use:

SELECT TRIM(TRAILING '.' FROM TRIM(TRAILING '0' from yourfield)) AS yourfield
FROM yourtable
WHERE yourfield LIKE '%.%'
