Recently, I had to format my db server and when I re-attached the database,
I noticed some unusal behavior. I have some fields in certain tables with a
width of 60. When I would extract data from the table for that specific
field, the data would contain extra blank chars. As a result, I am forced to
use the trim function to get rid of the extra chars. This problem has never
occured before and I now find it quite annoying. Does anybody have any
ideas?
This question would be more appropriate for php-db or the mailing list
for the database you are using, if one exists.
Fixed length fields often have 'filler' data at the end of the field.
I suspect this the case with your data.
