Delete leadaing zero in number less than one (no replies)

This seems like it should be simple, but I haven’t figured out a way to do so. I’m trying to show the winning percentage of sports teams expressed to thousands (e.g. .625). The key is that I need to eliminate the leading "0" which is returned (e.g. 0.625) when I use number_format() - e.g. number_format($pct_nonconf, 3). Any solution needs to preserve the unit digit if a team is undefeated (1.000).

Any help is appreciated! (more…)

End Query with \G instead of ;

You can use \G instead of ; for tables with lots of fields.
