A few examples of the Oracle RPAD function, with some tables being set up.

DROP TABLE customers;
 
CREATE TABLE customers (
first_name varchar2(100),
last_name varchar2(100),
country varchar2(20),
full_address CLOB,
employees NUMBER,
start_date DATE
);
 
INSERT INTO customers (first_name, last_name, country, full_address, employees, start_date) VALUES ('John', 'Smith', 'USA', '10 Long Road', 4, '12-APR-2010');
INSERT INTO customers (first_name, last_name, country, full_address, employees, start_date) VALUES ('Sally', 'Jones', 'USA', '50 Market Street', 10, '04-JUL-2011');
INSERT INTO customers (first_name, last_name, country, full_address, employees, start_date) VALUES ('Steve', 'Brown', 'Canada', '201 Flinders Lane', 15, '21-MAR-2009');
INSERT INTO customers (first_name, last_name, country, full_address, employees, start_date) VALUES ('Mark', 'Allan', 'UK', '8 Smith Street', 23, '1-FEB-2001');
INSERT INTO customers (first_name, last_name, country, full_address, employees, start_date) VALUES ('Adam', 'Cooper', 'USA', '14 Wellington Road', 55, NULL);

INSERT INTO customers (first_name, last_name, country, full_address, employees, start_date) VALUES (NULL, '', NULL, '155 Long Road', NULL, '16-OCT-2012');
 
SELECT * FROM customers;
 
 
--Example 1
SELECT first_name, RPAD(last_name, 15) AS padded_value
FROM customers;
 
--Example 2
SELECT first_name, RPAD(last_name, 15, '*') AS padded_value
FROM customers;
 
--Example 3
SELECT first_name, RPAD(last_name, 5, ' ') AS padded_value
FROM customers;
 
--Example 4
SELECT employees, RPAD(employees, 4, ' ') AS padded_value
FROM customers;
 
--Example 5
SELECT last_name, RPAD(LPAD(last_name, 10, '#'), 15, '*') AS padded_value
FROM customers;
 
--Example 6
SELECT country, RPAD(NVL(country, ' '), 10, '_') AS padded_value
FROM customers;
 
--Example 7
SELECT country, RPAD(country, 8, NULL) AS padded_value
FROM customers;
 
--Example 8
SELECT country, RPAD(country, 15, '-*') AS padded_value
FROM customers;
 
--Example 9
SELECT country, RPAD(country, LENGTH(country)*2, '*') AS padded_value
FROM customers;
