Hi. Is there a way with to_char to suppress a decimal point, like a leading or trailing 0, so that integers will not have them, but non-ints will? I'm hoping I'm missing something easy. Thanks.

SELECT val,to_char(val::decimal(6,2),'FM999,999D99') FROM( SELECT 1 AS val UNION SELECT 1.05 AS val) foo;
val | to_char
------+---------
1 | 1.
1.05 | 1.05
Not seeing a native way to do so - and I'd question doing so as a general rule - though you know your domain. If you must have this you will want to utilize regexp_replace to identify the situation and replace it. A simple "\.$" check and a substring would work also.
