How to pad a numeric type column with leading zeros?

Execute the following Microsoft SQL Server T-SQL example scripts to demonstrate SQL padding of numbers and strings with leading and trailing zeros as well as with other designated characters, and techniques
for removing (trim) leading zeros. 



-- SQL Server leading zero - T-SQL padding numbers - lpad tsql - sql pad zero

SELECT ListPrice,

  Padded=RIGHT('0000000000' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,ListPrice), 10)

FROM AdventureWorks2008.Production.Product WHERE ListPrice > 0.0

------------

-- T SQL pad leading zeros - transact sql leading zeros

SELECT ProductID, ReorderPoint = REPLACE(STR(ReorderPoint, 6), SPACE(1), '0')

FROM AdventureWorks2008.Production.Product

/* ProductID            ReorderPoint

      1                 000750

USE AdventureWorks;
