Hello,

I'm trying to concatenate apostorphes in a select string

ex: select char(29)+column+char(29) from table

my result outputs with left padded spaces in query analyzer as 'Value '

I want my result to look like 'Value'

Is this correct way to go about this?

Thanks

Sorry, I'm using Char(39) not Char(29). Still having problem.
