Howdy:
I'm running Postgres 7.1.3 on Mandrake Linux 8.0 kernel
version 2.4.16.
I am trying to create a table where I need to pad certain
columns. For example, I have a column where it's defined
as an integer 10 but has to be padded with leading zeros,
so the results should be:
0000200201
instead of
[space]200201
At the same time, I have to define a column similar to char (25),
but left justify it with trailing bytes filled with spaces.
In the end, the entire output of a dump should have a specific
format (like COBOL) where there is a start and end position.
Yeah, well, I don't know why a delimited format wouldn't
help the clients, but it seems that they've hardcode
their process so that the text dump will look *exactly*
as specified.
Can someone point me to the right docs / examples?
Thanks!
