Is there a printf()-like formatting in MySQL?
I couldn’t find a straightforward way in the documentation.
For example, how can I make something like:
SELECT STRFORMATFUNCTIONIMLOOKINGFOR('%03d', 17) to get 017 ?
You can implement this kind of function by creating a new UDF (user defined function).E.g. see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-functions.html
