Hello, Appareantly it's impossible to insert a string, consisting entirely out of spaces, in a textual field (I've tried varchar(19) and char(2) types, they both don't work). MySQL doesn't complain about it, but it trims the strings down to the empty string. If I try a select searching for the spaces-only string afterwards, it gives me zero results. The same problem occurs when updating.
The problem does not occur, however, when converting the columns to "text" types. MySQL version: 3.23.47-nt OS: Windows NT 4.0 Problem can be reproduced with MySQLGui and Java using the JDBC-MySQL bridge driver. Is this a bug or do I have to do something special to disable the 'string trimming'? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
