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’.

How can I get MySQL to not display trailing zeros;

i.e. in the database:

Odds
1.500
23.030
2.000
4.450

would display as

1.5
23.03
2
4.45

Thanks for any help
