Hi,
I needed to repair some data that had been entered inconsistently, I was in a 
rush so I did it
manually via SqlYOG. (too much of a rush to consider how to do it quickly!)

The bad data in one column propertyID

was of kind 
\w\w\w\d  eg ONE1
\w\w\w\d\d eg ABC23
\w\w\w\d\d\d eg FGH123

when they all needed to packed with zeros as necessary

\w\w\w\d\d\d\d  

so 
ONE1    ->  ONE0001
ABC23   -> ABC0023
FGH123 -> FGH0123

What Update Query should/could I have used?
