Hi, The main reason was to save storage space while keeping the implementation simple. If the spaces are added (padding), then either it needs to be done when inserting (which means the spaces are stored in the database file, which takes a lot of space), or the number of spaces needs to be kept in memory somewhere, in which case the implementation would be more complex (spaces are returned but not stored). That's why I choose not to pad the spaces.
