Can you force it to keep the space by escaping the space?
Something like:
mysql> insert into test_strings set foo_1=' test\ ',foo_2=' test\
',foo_3=' test\
',foo_4=' test\ ';

Hi!
I just hit something really strange which is either a bug in MySQL or a
dumbness bug of me.
I am trying to insert a string ending with a simple space and i really
want
this space at the end of my string ;). Unfortunately MySQL kills this
whitespace when inserting into normal (var)char columns:
mysql> create table test_strings (foo_1 varchar(255),foo_2
char(255),foo_3
text,foo_4 blob);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into test_strings set foo_1=' test ',foo_2=' test
',foo_3=' test
',foo_4=' test ';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select length(foo_1),length(foo_2),length(foo_3),length(foo_4)
from
test_strings;
+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| length(foo_1) | length(foo_2) | length(foo_3) | length(foo_4) |
+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 |
+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Is this a feature or am i missing something. text would do it for me
but it is
a total waste of space.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
