Kim Haase commented on DERBY-2365:
----------------------------------
Would this be less ambiguous?
"...because a string that has one or more trailing blank spaces is treated as
identical to the same string that does not have trailing blank spaces."
I know it's a bit clumsy. But a phrase beginning with "without" can be either
adverbial or adjectival, so it took me a while to figure out if the "without"
in Bryan's suggestion appled to the noun "string" or to the verb phrase.
I think that "because a blank space is a special value" doesn't really explain
the situation.

> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug

> Reporter: Tomohito Nakayama
> Priority: Minor

> In this part, next sentence of an example exists.
> For example, if the values 'z' and 'z ' are both stored in a column, you
> cannot control which one will be returned as the maximum, because a blank
> space has no value.
> Because blank space is value, I think "because a blank space has no value" is
> not appropriate.
> I think it should be as "because a blank space is an special value".
