My idea is
SELECT round(1.2345678912, 5 - least(log(1.2345678912)::int,5) );
SELECT round(12.345678912, 5 - least(log(12.345678912)::int,5) );
SELECT round(123.45678912, 5 - least(log(123.45678912)::int,5) );
SELECT round(1234.5678912, 5 - least(log(1234.5678912)::int,5) );
SELECT round(12345.678912, 5 - least(log(12345.678912)::int,5) );
SELECT round(123456.78912, 5 - least(log(123456.78912)::int,5) );
SELECT round(1234567.8912, 5 - least(log(1234567.8912)::int,5) );
SELECT round(12345678.912, 5 - least(log(12345678.912)::int,5) );
SELECT round(123456789.12, 5 - least(log(123456789.12)::int,5) );
as content for a function
with arguments (value numeric, diggits int)
Have s.o. a better idea?
