Description: function to_char() returns wrong value
Details:
I run this following SQL command in pgAdminIII:
Select to_char(12345,'00000')
but it always returns ' 12345' (hex code: 20 31 32 33 34 35).It always adds
one space char in the left side.
I have to use another function substring() as followings to get my expected
value.
Select substring(to_char(12345,'00000'),from ' ' for 5)
it exactly returns '12345' which I expect.
