I once wrote a trigger function to do just what you asked, however, it was a huge drain on performance so I didn't use it for long, so I dropped the trigger.  Hopefully, someone has a more practical approach.  I would be interested in this also.

Hi Team,

 

How can i write the syntax to remove the leading spaces on a table for all the columns.

 

Also, want to know how to do the all words of all the columns in capital along with removing of leading\excessive\trailing spaces at a time.

Can you please help me out, let me know in case of any

For larger production tables I would stream the converted data through COPY into a new table of identical shape, build indeces then rename both and truncate/drop old table.
