MariaDB RPAD_ORACLE SQL Function - Pad string on the right in Oracle mode

RPAD_ORACLESyntax:RPAD_ORACLE(String, Length, String to append)
Return value:CHAR
Function type:String function
Function Description

The RPAD_ORACLE() function returns "String" with "Length" as the result, with the missing characters being filled with "String to append" on the right side.

If "Length" is less than the length of "String", "String" is returned truncated to "Length". This then corresponds to the function LEFT().

If "String to append" is not specified, the RPAD_ORACLE() function pads with spaces.

Numeric values ​​of "String" or "String to append" are interpreted as character strings.

If "String" or "String to append" is NULL, the RPAD_ORACLE() function returns NULL.


This feature is available from MariaDB 10.3.6.

Unlike RPAD_ORACLE(), the function RPAD() returns an empty string instead of NULL, if the result is empty.

This feature is not present in MySQL 8.0.

How to use the RPAD_ORACLE() function in MariaDB databases

In MariaDB the RPAD_ORACLE() function is used to pad strings to a specific length by adding a specific character or a specific character group is appended. The function is useful when it is necessary to ensure that a string has a certain length by adding padding characters on the right side. RPAD_ORACLE() is commonly used to format data, align text, or create fixed-length fields in reports or display output. Unlike the RPAD() function, RPAD_ORACLE() returns NULL if the result is empty.
