function
str_lpad()
std::str_lpad(string: str, n: int64, fill: str = ' ') -> str

Return the input string left-padded to the length n.

This function is deprecated. Use std::str_pad_start() instead.

If the string is longer than n, then it is truncated to the first n characters. Otherwise, the string is padded on the left up to the total length n using fill characters (space by default).

Copy
db> 
SELECT str_lpad('short', 10);
{'     short'}
Copy
db> 
SELECT str_lpad('much too long', 10);
{'much too l'}
Copy
db> 
SELECT str_lpad('short', 10, '.:');
{'.:.:.short'}
function
str_rpad()
std::str_rpad(string: str, n: int64, fill: str = ' ') -> str

Return the input string right-padded to the length n.

This function is deprecated. Use std::str_pad_end() instead.

If the string is longer than n, then it is truncated to the first n characters. Otherwise, the string is padded on the right up to the total length n using fill characters (space by default).

Copy
db> 
SELECT str_rpad('short', 10);
{'short     '}
Copy
