I am trying to right-align the output of some PL/SQL code, but dbms_output.put_line is trimming the leading whitespace from my strings. How do I make it stop? Or is there a better way to output strings with leading whitespace?
dbms_output.put_line(lpad('string', 30, ' '));
outputs:
string
instead of:
string
