Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-2365:
----------------------------------------
Perhaps:
"because one or more trailing blank spaces at the end of a character string
do not distinguish it from the same string without the trailing blanks".
Does a wording like that make the meaning any clearer?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2365
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Environment:

> Reporter: Tomohito Nakayama
> Priority: Minor
>
> In this part, next sentence of an example exists.
> For example, if the values 'z' and 'z ' are both stored in a column, you
> cannot control which one will be returned as the maximum, because a blank
> space has no value.
> Because blank space is value, I think "because a blank space has no value" is
> not appropriate.
> I think it should be as "because a blank space is an special value".
