Change your database schema (assuming you can) to use varchar..  With SQl
Server 2k, there are very few reasons to use char versus varchar..  Save's
space too!

Subject: Trailing Spaces in SQL Server Fields


Hello.

I am new to turbine and working on my first app.  I am
using sql server 2000 (unfortunately), and the sun
jdbc-odbc bridge driver.

Whenever a new record is saved (INSERT or UPDATE),
trailing spaces get added to the field value to fill
up the maximum allowed.  For example, everytime a user
logs in, their username gets extended to the username
+ (32 - str.length(username)) spaces.  That is, the
user:

'turbine' becomes
'turbine                         '

And they can't log in again until I change it in the
database.

Can anyone offer any ideas of where and why this might
be happening?  Is likely it the driver, the peer
service or the database?

Thanks for the help,

Chris
