This Oracle tutorial explains how to use the Oracle/PLSQL LPAD function with syntax and examples. The Oracle/PLSQL LPAD function pads the left-side of a string with a specific set of characters (when string1 is not null). The syntax for the LPAD function in Oracle/PLSQL is:
The Ides of March is a phrase derived from the Latin idus, a term marking the 15th day of March, July and October as well as the 13th day of other months in the Roman calendar year, and the Latin martii, âMarch,â which is derived from the Latin Mars, the Roman god of war.
A soothsayer calls out to Caesar as he passes and warns him against the ides of March, March 15. Caesar ignores the man and dismisses him as a dreamer. Upon seeing Cassius, Caesar informs Antony that he would rather be surrounded by men who are fat and happy than thin men like Cassius.
