The same result for with SPACE and without SPACE

["Wetmore, Matthew (CTR)" <Matthew.Wetmore@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Before you kick me out of the group, can you please explain.

 

I thought the orig issue was that purposefully spaces/whitespace are being ignored (or not ignored.) in the select.  Maybe there was an email in the middle that I missed.

 

create table matt_test (c1 int)

 

insert into matt_test  values ('123')

 

insert into matt_test  values (' 123')

 

insert into matt_test values ('123 ')

 

select c1 from matt_test where c1 = '123'

-- all 3 rows returned.

 

Is it expected behavior that all 3 rows would be returned (because the space isn’t an INT?)

 

Works as I would expect with TEXT

 

create table matt_test2 (c2 text)

 

insert into matt_test2  values ('123')

 

insert into matt_test2  values (' 123')

 

insert into matt_test2  values ('123 ')

 

select c2 from matt_test2 where c2 = '123'

-- 1 rows returned.

?

When casting string to integer, trailing spaces do not cause an exception. When casting integer to char(n), the string will be blank padded.
