Is there any way of "padding" an integer, similar to how, in perl, I would
do:
printf("%03d", 1);
to get:
001
Specifically, I'm looking to do this in a pl/pgsql function ... like to
avoid moving to pl/php or pl/perl if I can ... but, from what I've been
able to find, I suspect I'm not going to have much of a choice ...
