Обсуждение: RETURN VALUES ON INTEGERS

I have the following DATABASE.

CREATE TABLE codestatus    (id                int primary key,code                int,status                char
);

code is an int number made at least of 6 numbers.
(range from 0 up to 999999)

If i do :

select * from codestatus;

I GET:

id|code|status
--+------+------1| 44111|N    2|   123|S

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET

id|code|status
--+------+------1|044111|N    2|000123|S

How could I fix the prbolem and get the values as I ned them out of the
select ?

thanks in advance

Alex

Try lpad. For example:

testing=> select num, lpad( num, 6, '0' ) from test1;  num|  lpad
------+------    2|000002    4|000004   38|000038  199|000199
100399|100399

Try

from codestatus
