Hi, using postgres 12.5.
The to_char function has a problem with format length.
Example, select length (to_char (1, '990'))
returns 4 because?
if the format has length 3?

Per the fine manual:
* If no explicit provision is made for a sign in to_char()'s pattern,
one column will be reserved for the sign, and it will be anchored to
(appear just left of) the number. If S appears just left of some
9's, it will likewise be anchored to the number.
If you don't want to leave space for a sign, it looks like FM is
the only way to do that.
regards, tom lane
