URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5300
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Engine
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Environment: Windows Server 2008 R2
Reporter: Phillip Day
The following statement results in assigning a CHAR return value to a VARCHAR
column. The return value will be right padded with spaces based on the maximum
length of the possible values in the CASE statement.
Update TableA Set ColumnA = Case When ColumnB = 'TestValue' then 'ShortValue'
else 'ALongerStringValue' end
ColumnA is a VarChar column. The result of this statement will assign ColumnA
a value of 'ShortValue ' when ColumnB = 'TestValue'
