Trimming attribute values

Hey all,

I have some attributes that are of 'char' type, and at least in Sybase,
this returns a string that isn't trimmed...however, all of my code expects
these values to be trimmed in the objects.  In EOF you could specify in the
model that the type was a String (TRIM)...which handled all the details on
fetching and insert.  Any thoughts on how to accomplish this for certain
attributes in Cayenne?

Thanks,

Lon

Never mind. :)  I found that my data types on the db entity were set as
VARCHAR and not CHAR (which does the right thing).

Thanks,

Lon
