在 oracle 11g 中的单个列中对齐值

Question

My select statement looks like this:

select RPAD(label,40) || count (*) from table

My result looks like this:

label             1
otherlabel       3
anotherlabel    0

How can I get my count() number to line up? I have tried using various combination of LPAD and RPAD but because the text characters are not of set width , the numbers are allways slightly off. anyone have a trick for this?

So I want :

label           1
otherlabel      3
anotherlabel    0

Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

This is a font problem. Use a monospaced font (where all letters have the same width) in your app and you are done.
