If you are using VARCHAR for this, you're right. It's a documented
behaviour of MySQL ("Values are not padded; instead, trailing spaces are
removed when values are stored. (This space removal differs from the
ANSI SQL specification.)"): http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/CHAR.html

If you need the spaces, you will have to use CHAR.
