Summary: length function is not working properly
Initial Comment:
The following SQL execution will show the problem:
sql>create table test ( str VARCHAR(20), str2 VARCHAR(20));
sql>insert into test values (' test ','');
Rows affected 1
sql>select length(str), str from test;
+------------+-------+
| length_str |str |
+============+=======+
| 5 | test |
+------------+-------+
sql>
The length of the string is 6 and not 5 ;)
Regards,
Romulo

does ' test ' result in 5 too?
No its result in 6...
we currently do a special length(rtrim(x)).
The white spaces, after the last work, are not counted...
Niels just told me that, so I will close the bug.
The resolution will be rejected.
If it is not the proper choice please let me know.
Regards,
Romulo

The problem is the space used in string: Look to the following example:
sql>insert into test values (' ','');
Rows affected 1
sql>select length(str), str from test;
+------------+-------+
| length_str |str |
+============+=======+
| 5 | test |
| 0 | |
+------------+-------+
sql>
