Hi,
Does MySQL provide for any way to "pad" a field? I have accounts numbers
that vary from 3-5 digits, and would like them 8 digits padded by zeros
(479 becomes 00000479, 17234 becomes 00017234, etc). I know I could
probably write a script to fix that before entering the data into the
database, but I just wanted to know. Or maybe there is a way to pad it
while doing the query select?
Thanks,
Bryan
