Manish Khettry commented on DERBY-1623:
---------------------------------------

Yes, I agree the better thing to do is to implement the sql standard and leave 
ltrim/rtrimalone. 

I don't have ready access to the sql standard so I'm a litlle unsure about the 
<trim character>. I'm taking it as a string literal. Looking at this page, 
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/sqlnut/chapter/ch04.html, it looks like, it is 
interpreted as a string that needs to be removed. i.e.

trim(leading 'ab' from 'bac') => bac
trim(leading 'ba' from 'bac') => c

and not as I'd thought earlier a set of characters to be removed.



> Add ANSI TRIM implementation
