Hi Guys
I have a field called Account.
It consits of the following sample data.
0090
>100
0091
0092
I need a script that will strip the leading zero of the 0090 data and the another to add a zero to the back.
So in the end, the sample data will look like this (With the >100 data not being affected.
0900
>100
0910
0920
Thanking you in Advance.
Andre

Hi Again

Further to this I have also tried the following

UPDATE tablename

SET column = Ltrim(column,'0');

But i get this when I parse

Msg 174, Level 15, State 1, Line 2

The ltrim function requires 1 argument(s).

Any ideas?

update tablename

set column = stuff(column,1,1,'')+'0'

where column like '009_';
