That isn't a compression. That isn't good in any way. SQL can store floats as numbers internally. Your method would convert it to a string first, losing all the optimizations available. What's more, storing bits of data together is exactly what SQL is already designed to do very very well. So you are badly replicating part of the features of a database in the database, instead of just using the native functionality.
