How to trim leading 0s — Vertica Forum

How to trim leading 0s

Hello

I am having hard time finding code to remove leading zeros. An example of the string is '00001234' and '0012345'. I need to remove leading zeros to show '1234' and '12345' respectively. Any help?

Thanks
VJ

    ltrim

    12345
    (1 row)

    dbadmin=> select trim(LEADING '0' FROM '0000001234');
