VARCHARs normally should not be trimmed (at least not by the
framework). It as assumed that database does not pad VARCHARs with
spaces, as this goes against the definition of VARCHAR (unlike CHARs
where the behavior is undefined). So trailing spaces are assumed to
have meaning to the user. This is why I was surprised by your report
that MS Access does in fact pads VARCHARs. Maybe it simply doesn't
support this data type?

What's the correct behaviour for VARCHAR and trailing space, i.e.
foo.setVarCharProp("abc ");
for:
foo.getVarCharProp().equals("abc")
foo.getVarCharProp().equals("abc ")
Which should yield true or false?
