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 fragments of the others answers in this page I came to this conclusion:

SELECT ( IF(
    myfield LIKE '%.%', 
    TRIM(TRAILING '.' FROM TRIM(TRAILING '0' FROM myfield)),
    myfield
) ) FROM mytable

Cheers
