On Sybase the following script:
create table #temp_table (
a varchar(10),
b numeric identity
)
insert into #temp_table (a) values ("1234")
insert into #temp_table (a) values ("234")
insert into #temp_table (a) values ("134")
insert into #temp_table (a) values ("124")
insert into #temp_table (a) values ("22434")
insert into #temp_table (a) values ("1245234")
insert into #temp_table (a) values ("251234")
insert into #temp_table (a) values ("3451234")
insert into #temp_table (a) values ("1634234")
select * from #temp_table
update #temp_table set a = "N" + a
select * from #temp_table
go
