Using Linux (Redhat 6.2) and MySQL-3.23.24-1 / P ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2001 16:35:04 +0100 (CET) From: Paul Wisén <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Trim string problem Hi everybody! I can't find the solution to this problem. Why is it doing this: mysql> select trim('foo' FROM 'foobaar'); +----------------------------+ | trim('foo' FROM 'foobaar') | +----------------------------+ | baar | +----------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Works just fine so far... mysql> select trim('foo' FROM 'foo'); +------------------------+ | trim('foo' FROM 'foo') | +------------------------+ | foo | +------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) I was expecting a null string from this one.. But nope ?? Why ? Is it a bug or is it supposed to be that way ? What can I do to solve it ? / Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
