Title: Re: [GENERAL] r trim of characters other than space

but how should i do it within a stored procedure

something like:

 

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION insert(varchar(65),varchar(65),date,varchar(256)) RETURNS retval AS'
DECLARE
patName text;
BEGIN
        
        patName := trim($1);
        select trim(trailing `^` from patName) INTO patName;
        trim(patName);

 

this seems to be giving syntax error

 

thanks,

regards

Surabhi

Per SQL spec:

regression=# select trim(trailing '^' from 'abc def^^^^');
  rtrim 
---------
 abc def
(1 row)
