[jira] Updated: (DERBY-3664) Trailing white space in varchar field is trimmed off.

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3664?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Shawn Aucoin updated DERBY-3664:
--------------------------------

    Description: 
When executing an insert statement with a varchar field containing trailing whitespace, the trailing whitespace is removed.  This results in unique constraint issues.  If  index is not unique, select * from login where login = 'first_test'  will return both records.  Preceeding whitespace doesn't appear to be affected.  I tested this from IJ and from java api.  I included an example below

CREATE TABLE LOGIN
(
	LOGIN_ID INT PRIMARY KEY,
	LOGIN VARCHAR(60)
);

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX LOGIN_LOGIN_IDX 
ON LOGIN (LOGIN DESC);

insert into login (LOGIN_ID, LOGIN) values (1, 'first_test');
insert into login (LOGIN_ID, LOGIN) values (2, 'first_test ');

Now, i fully admit that there is no logical reason for trailing whitespace, but it is client data that i am dealing with and I may not be able to get it changed.  Thanks, derby is a sweet product!
