Problems with varchar/text - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Hi out there,

I've got a table with a field named "blabla", type is varchar(12).

Now I want to insert "00083151" into this field, but after the INSERT
the leading zeros are cutted, eg. in the DB is only "83151"

Same Problem with type text...


Any Idea how I can get the _complete_ Value with the leading zeros
into the DB ?

Thanks in Advance !
