Hi,
Looking for a way to format a number by showing 0's to the left and right of the decimal. Also, looking to print a plus sign. There should be 6 digits in the front and 6 in the back of the decimal. For example,

654.89 should be displayed as +000654.890000

I've come up with the following

replace(to_char(654.89, '000000.000000'), ' ', '+')

Does anyone have a way to showing the plus sign without using replace?

you might want to review the format masks for to_char. There is a lot you can do with them
