Subject: SQL: how to retrieve current date in YYYYMMDD format

The following doesn't zero-fill the MM and DD fields.  Is it possible to get SQL to zero-fill these values for months 1 thru 9 and also days 1 thru 9?

YEAR(curDate())   || MONTH(curDate())  ||  DAY(curDate())

Purpose: Im trying to load the current date (20120808) into an old column defined as YYYYMMDD alpha.



Thanks!
