Subject: [firebird-support] Saving string value with leading zeros?


I have a field in a table designated as a char(2) type and I am trying
to update it with a value of "09", but when I do this it, the value
written into the table is just "9" i.e. the leading zero is removed.

How can I retain the string value as "09"?

Many thanks
Will
