Hi,

I am facing a problem in number conversion. My requirement is to make number 0 as 0.0000 as provided by precision and scale in user_tab_columns.

Following is the query i ran ..

SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR (0, '9.99999') FROM DUAL;

TO_CHAR(
--------
  .00000

SQL> 


But I need the output like

0.00000

Thanks
Trivendra

This should work:

SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR (0, '0.99999') FROM DUAL;

TO_CHAR(
--------
 0.00000
