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

Taking forward the answer provided by @fooquency, if the column is already declared as a DECIMAL with a non-zero value for D in DECIMAL(M, D), we do not need to perform the WHERE condition

WHERE yourfield LIKE '%.%'

as the values in the column will always contain D digits after the decimal dot (.)
