Are you talking about display width? Use the RPAD function:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/string-functions.html
mysql> SELECT RPAD('foo', 20, 'x') AS foo;
+----------------------+
| foo |
+----------------------+
| fooxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

Subject: Fixed with Fields
I was wondering if there is a way to create fixed width fields. Example: The field is set to 18 but data contained is 11. I need the length to remain 18. Is there anyway to do this? Thanks for your help.
