addig char in select statement

Question

I want to add char in Select statement.

Ex:

SELECT '.' + OUTTRUNK as NUMBER

Expected Result:

.348977834
.456935534
.090922834
.234999734

How can I do this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try the more SQL-ish:

SELECT '.' || OUTTRUNK as NUMBER

but keep in mind that, if OUTRUNK is a numeric rather than string type, you'll probably find that 090922834 will actually be 90922834 and will render as .90922834, not what you want.

If that's the case, you're probably looking for something more like:

SELECT OUTTRUNK / 1000000000 as NUMBER

(check the number of zeros there, I tried to get it right but testing is rightly your concern).
