Interesting, thanks, hmmm, well it is mysql, yes and yes it's leading whitespace but the column type here (in my migration) is either "text" or "string", can't remember but I think I went for "text" as this is potentially a longer piece of writing. It does smack of the DB doing something "behind the scenes" actually - any tips to stop it doing any trimming of whitespace - I could test that? Actually it could be new line of carriage returns that are being trimmed. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
