Height Format Function

/****************************************************************************************

FileName:
format_height.sql

Description:
Contains SQL used to create the "Format_Height" function.

This function takes a decimal representation of a height
value and returns a properly formatted string value. 

For example, a height of 5 feet 9 inches, which would be 
passed in as the decimal 5.90, would be returned as 5'9". 

Similarly, a height of 4 feet 11 inches, which would be
passed in as the decimal 4.11, would be returned as 4'11".
