See the ZEROFILL column attribute:

If necessary, you can use an ALTER TABLE command to add that
attribute to the appropriate columns.

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 0479, 17234 becomes 00017234, etc). I know I could
probably write a script to fix that before entering the data into the
database,
