Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-12270:
------------------------------------

    Assignee: Apache Spark

> JDBC Where clause comparison doesn't work for DB2 char(n) 
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: SPARK-12270
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12270
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SQL
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.0
>            Reporter: Huaxin Gao

> I am doing some Spark jdbc test against DB2. My test is like this: 
> {code}
>      conn.prepareStatement(
>         "create table people (name char(32)").executeUpdate()
>      conn.prepareStatement("insert into people values 
> ('fred')").executeUpdate()
>      sql(
>        s"""
>           |CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE foobar
>           |USING org.apache.spark.sql.jdbc
>           |OPTIONS (url '$url', dbtable 'PEOPLE', user 'testuser', password 
> 'testpassword')
>       """.stripMargin.replaceAll("\n", " "))
>      val df = sqlContext.sql("SELECT * FROM foobar WHERE NAME = 'fred'")
> {code}
> I am expecting to see one row with content 'fred' in df. However, there is no 
> row returned. If I changed the data type to varchar (32) in the create table 
> ddl , then I can get the row back correctly. The cause of the problem is that 
> for data type char (num), DB2 defines it as fixed-length character strings, 
> so if I have char (32), when doing "SELECT * FROM foobar WHERE NAME = 
> 'fred'", DB2 returns 'fred' padded with 28 empty space. Spark treats "fred' 
> padded with empty space not the same as 'fred' so df doesn't have any row. If 
> I have varchar (32), DB2 just returns 'fred' for the select statement and df 
> has the right row. In order to make DB2 char (num) works for spark, I suggest 
> to change spark code to trim the empty space after get the data from 
> database.
