I got this problem: I need to save in a varchar field a string wich can have the ended part filled with blank character, and I need to restore the string in the same way it was saved, ie. with the right number of ended blank characters. Mysql truncate tha last blank characaters of a field
for example if I have a table like the one belowe and insert some field with blank characters at the end , like "abc " or " middle ", when I read thei field I get "abc" and " middle". create table pippo ( codice int, messaggio varchar(20), a char(20)); insert into pippo values( 1, "abc ", "123 " ); insert into pippo values( 2, " middle ", " MIDDLE " ); select codice, messaggio, length(messaggio), a, length(a) from pippo; 1 abc 3 123 3 2 middle 8 MIDDLE 7 There are some way to avoid the automatic deletion of the last blank characters ?
