While there may be a way to manipulate this with MySQL, you may find
that the interface language is simpler. PHP and Perl both offer a
command 'printf' which allows you to heavily format a string or
number. Like:
printf("The price is $%.2f, today only", $sqlResultRow->amount);
would yield "The price is $24.95, today only". This differs a bit
between perl and PHP, but it's pretty much the same.
