RTRIM (Transact-SQL)
SQL Server 2008
Returns a character string after truncating all trailing blanks.
Compatibility levels can affect return values. For more information, see sp_dbcmptlevel (Transact-SQL).
The following example demonstrates how to use RTRIM to remove trailing spaces from a character variable.
DECLARE @string_to_trim varchar(60); SET @string_to_trim = 'Four spaces are after the period in this sentence. '; SELECT @string_to_trim + ' Next string.'; SELECT RTRIM(@string_to_trim) + ' Next string.'; GO
Here is the result set.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four spaces are after the period in this sentence. Next string.
