Happy Thursday SQLTeam,Having a rough start and I thought RTrim was going to work but the data fields I am working on have spaces after the values.I tried these two ideas in SQL View on SQL 2008.Select * from Customer where CustName = 'John Doe'ANDSelect * from Customer where (RTrim(CustName) = 'John Doe')I got no results to either of these and there are 5 records of "John Doe" in field CustName.Can anyone help me with this.Really appreciate it javascript:insertsmilie(' ') |

| If you have CustName='John Doe' Is the attribute a Char or varchar?do you have extra spaces in between or beginning?did you check for special characters CHR(13) CHAR(10) etc..?Is your Collation case sensitive? and John Doe is in your query ,but JOHN DOE in the database? probably not, but need to asktry this just for troubles shooting WHERE CustName Like '%John%Doe%' see if you get results |
