I cant figure out how to select the following:
123 -> 123.00000
123.12 -> 123.12000
123.123456 -> 123.123456
I would like to expand the number of decimal places to for example 5 decimal places (minimum) If there are no decimal places at all there should be 5 zeros. It is fine if there are more then 5 decimal places.
SELECT ROUND(123,5) FROM DUAL;
will result: 123 instead of 123.00000
The number has a default precision.
Is this possible or should I convert it to a varchar with the oracle number formats?
I am using Oracle 10g with plsql.
You could use the following:
SQL> SELECT X, to_char(X, 'fm99999999.00000999')
2 FROM (SELECT 123 X FROM dual UNION ALL
3 SELECT 123.12 FROM dual UNION ALL
4 SELECT 123.123456 FROM dual);
X TO_CHAR(X,'FM99999999.00000999
---------- ------------------------------
123 123.00000
123.12 123.12000
123.123456 123.123456
