Oct 26, 2005If Rtrim doesn't catch space at the end is there a way to catch strings that match but don't seem to get selected correctly when matching?

Nov 7, 2000I am trying to use the RTRIM command but it does not seem to be working. If I perform

Rtrim And Ltrim?
Oct 5, 2004I have some data that contains spaces both before and after the text string, and now I'm wondering what would be the best method to remove these blanks (sometimes there are no blanks, so I can't check with a specifik width)?
Is it possible to do something like:
set foo = ltrim(rtrim(foo))
or do I have to split it into 2 steps?
This trimming will be done in update & insert statements

Automatic RTRIM????
Aug 3, 2007Could anyone explain why this happens:
-- All outputs works but only the first should
select 'works' where '1' = '1'
select 'works' where '1' = '1 '
select 'works' where '1 ' = '1'
Seems to me like trailing blanks are automatically trimmed, why?
RTrim And LTrim With UPDATE

SQL 2012 :: How To Use RTRIM In Case Statement
Oct 1, 2015I have a DistributorInvoiceNumber that can end with in 'R', 'A', 'CRR' or 'CR'.I am trying to write a case statement like so:
CASE WHEN RIGHT([ih].[DistributorInvoiceNumber],1) = 'A'
THEN 'ADJ'
WHEN RIGHT([ih].[DistributorInvoiceNumber],1) = 'R'
THEN 'REV'
WHEN RIGHT([ih].[DistributorInvoiceNumber],3) = 'CRR'
THEN 'REV'
WHEN RIGHT([ih].[DistributorInvoiceNumber],2) = 'CR'
THEN 'CREDIT'
ELSE NULL END AS 'Status'
For the most part the code is working, with the exception of the fields that just end in 'R'. An example of this is 471268R, 2525125901CRR, 11100325230CR
Basically if the number ends with an A, then its an Adjustment, if it ends with JUST an R, then its a Reversal; if it ends with just a CR then it is a Credit and if it ends with CRR then it is a Reversal (Credit Reversal). How can I differentiate between the different R's since three of them end with R? Would I use a RTRIM command somehow?
SQL Server Do Host Variables Need Rtrim
Aug 13, 2007I understand that for SQL Server rtrim is not needed in where clause equates because SQL Server
automatically trims the spaces. Is rtrim necessary when comparing to a host variable since rtrim is a deterministic function? It it needed in the following example
Select ....
where
TEXT = rtrim(:I--HV-001)
TEXT is a varchar column in the SQL Server database and it is getting compared to the host variable.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2005 Is Rtrim Needed In Where Clause?
Aug 13, 2007When is RTRIM needed in a Select ... where clause. I noticed that if I have a column named TEXT varchar(17) which is varchar and in the where clause I state where
TEXT = 'This is the text'
or I state
TEXT = 'This is the text ' followed by 4 spaces
The equate still works - so when do I need RTRIM?
Do I need RTRIM for a host variable:
...where TEXT = RTRIM(:VAR_001)
if the host variable is the same length as the TEXT column field in the SQL Server 2005 database?
