I have a column named as ID in test table and it contains the data like 1,2,3
, I want to change it to 001,002,003
. How should I format that row to use same number of digits?

this is a duplicate. but if you want to update the table then follow the update syntax like so.. `UPDATE test_table t, ( SELECT LPAD(id, 3, '0') as temp_id FROM test_table ) as temp SET t.id = temp.temp_id WHERE t.id = temp.id;` – John Ruddell Jul 24 '14 at 14:10
