We all know T-SQL’s string manipulation capabilities sometimes leaves much to be desired…

I have a numeric field that needs to be output in T-SQL as a right-aligned text column. Example:

Value ----------    143.55   3532.13      1.75 

How would you go about that? A good solution ought to be clear and compact, but remember there is such a thing as ‘too clever’.

I agree this is the wrong place to do this, but sometimes we’re stuck by forces outside our control.

Thank you.

    The STR function has an optional length argument as well as a number-of-decimals one.

    SELECT STR(123.45, 6, 1)  ------  123.5  (1 row(s) affected)
