  Hi Professional ,

  Create Table,

  CREATE TABLE abc

  (num int)

  Insert Into

  insert into abc values (1010)

  insert into abc values (111)

  insert into abc values (99)

  insert into abc values (0)

  SELECT 'D'+ CAST(num AS NVARCHAR) FROM abc

  Now I am getting Result as below,

  D1010

  D111

  D99

  D0

  But I have to show result as like below,

  D1010

  D1110

  D9900

  0

  So please suggest me how to do this ?

  Regards,

  KRAj

  SELECT 'D' + LEFT(CAST(num AS VARCHAR(4))+'0000',4)

  FROM abc

  SELECT ISNULL('D' + LEFT(CAST(NULLIF(num,0) AS VARCHAR(4))+'0000',4),'0')

  FROM abc

  Or like this:

  SELECT CASE num WHEN 0 THEN '' ELSE 'D' END +

  RIGHT(num*POWER(10, 3-FLOOR(LOG10(CASE num WHEN 0 THEN 1 ELSE num END))), 4)

  FROM abc

  What??? 😛

  My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

  My advice:
  INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
  The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
