>From the docs: * All string columns, except `BLOB' and `TEXT' columns, automatically have all trailing spaces removed when retrieved. For `CHAR' types this is okay, and may be regarded as a feature according to ANSI SQL92. The bug is that in MySQL Server, `VARCHAR' columns are treated the same way. It's mentioned in 3 other places as well. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
