In a program that dynamically insert / update records in an Oracle DB table. I got 1 problem as described below:
For a record value beginning with '0' (e.g. 062), the value displayed in the Oracle table becomes '62' rather than '062'. The '0' got truncated. How can this be solved? Thanks.

There is nothing to be solved. The number 062 is exactly the same value as 62.

Aday: Thanks for your response. Will add additional code to handle it.

change the datatype to character so it will save the desired value, but in that case you have to do the conversion in case on it is required for calculation.

Solution 1

If you insert an numeric or integer value type, you will get this problem.
Try using a char or varchar type.
