Re: [SQL] Datatype conversion help

What about lpad?

select lpad (7, 2, 0) || '-' || lpad (9, 2, '0') || '-2003';
 ?column? 
------------
07-09-2003
(1 row)

I hope, it helps...

Thank you so much!  But my problem is that when I do
to_char(mn, '00') || '-' || to_char(dy, '00') || '-' || to_char(yr,
'9999')
where mn, dy, and yr are ints, is that the output has a space after the
the dash.  For example, I get
07- 25- 1994
instead of what I want:
07-25-1994
Thanks,
Yasir
