Doesn't NO PAD connect to the collating sequence (CS) rather than the
data type?
ISO/IEC 9075-2:1999 (E) (c)ISO/IEC
4.2 Character strings
A character set is described by a character set descriptor. A character
set descriptor includes:
- The name of the character set.
- The name of the default collation for the character set.
For every character set, there is at least one collation. A collation is
described by a collation descriptor. A collation descriptor includes:
- The name of the collation.
- The name of the character set on which the collation operates.
- Whether the collation has the NO PAD or the PAD SPACE characteristic.
Sounds locale-specific then... So then the real question is what to
extent the implimentation has free reign regarding which locales use
which collation sequences....
