Our manufacturing plant still uses fractions. We do calculations in decimal (of course) and then round to the nearest 16th.

Subject: Re: SQL user function to turn a decimal number to a fraction
What you say is true. I don't dispute that. On the other hand, the OP is working to solve a business problem - who else but butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers use fractions? Providing a solution that will give "4/13ths" as an answer has no useful purpose so far as I can see.
