The sql reference manual, format descriptors is your friend. You didn't say which Oracle version. Here is a link for Oracle 9i:

Hello List,

Look into the queries below, why the result of first two queries is starting with a blank space, and to get rid of this I have to substr from position 2 rather than 1.

select substr(to_char(34.25,'99.99'),1,5) col1 from dual; --result is ' 34.2'
