Trailing white space in varchar field is trimmed off.

                 Key: DERBY-3664
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3664
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 10.4.1.3, 10.3.2.1, 10.3.1.4
         Environment: Win XP, Derby 10.4.1.3
            Reporter: Shawn Aucoin


When executing an insert statement with a varchar field containing trailing 
whitespace, the trailing whitespace is removed.  This results in unique 
constraint issues.  If  index is not unique, select * from login where login = 
'first_test'  will return both records.  Preceeding whitespace doesn't appear 
to be affected.  I tested this from IJ and from java api.  I included an 
example below

CREATE TABLE LOGIN
(
        LOGIN_ID INT PRIMARY KEY,
        LOGIN VARCHAR(60),
);

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX LOGIN_LOGIN_IDX 
ON LOGIN (LOGIN DESC);

insert into login (LOGIN_ID, LOGIN) values (1, 'first_test');
insert into login (LOGIN_ID, LOGIN) values (2, 'first_test ');

Now, i fully admit that there is no logical reason for trailing whitespace, but 
it is client data that i am dealing with and I may not be able to get it 
changed.  Thanks, derby is a sweet product!
