sqliteHow do I use the SQLite zfill function?
The zfill()
function in SQLite is used to pad a string with leading zeros. This is helpful when you need to ensure that all strings have a certain number of characters, such as when dealing with numeric codes or identifiers.
For example, the following code will pad a string with leading zeros to make it five characters long:
SELECT zfill('ABC', 5);
The output of this code would be 00ABC
.
The code consists of two parts:
zfill()
: the SQLite function used to pad a string with leading zeros'ABC'
: the string to be padded5
: the number of characters the string should be padded to
Here are a few more examples of zfill()
in action:
SELECT zfill('123', 5);
The output of this code would be 00123
.
SELECT zfill('ABCD', 5);
The output of this code would be ABCD
.
For more information about the zfill()
function in SQLite, see the SQLite documentation.
