Yes, it's documented. But it still is strage. CHAR should, according to the SQL specification, pad any value smaller than the defined number of characters with spaces when it returns the value to the client. VARCHAR doesn't. So yes, it's strange. But you just have to live with it. I guess. With regards, Martijn Tonies Database Workbench - developer tool for InterBase, Firebird, MySQL & MS SQL Server.
