Examples

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.

(1 row(s) affected)
