| Hi! My problem is:I have a table (Product) which contains a column (section) of type char(4). Any value I insert is left-justified. For exemple:insert into Product(section)values('44')The result issection'44 'I need the values I insert right-justified. Like this:' 5'' 44'' 123'I know that this will work:insert into Product(section)values(' 5')But may be you will have better idea.Thanks a lot! |

| insert ...select right(replicate(' ',4) + @value),4)with something this small probably easier to use the literal rather than replicate.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
