RTRIM

Removes all the trailing characters in char_expression that are present in char_set and returns the resultant string. The last character in the result is guaranteed not to be in char_set. If you do not specify a char_set, trailing blanks are removed.

Syntax

RTRIM ( char_expression [ , char_set ] )

Example

This example illustrates the RTRIM function:

SELECT RPAD ( RTRIM (addr, ' '), 30, '.') FROM customer ;

Notes

The first argument to the function must be of type CHARACTER.
The second argument to the function must be of type CHARACTER.
The result is of type CHARACTER.
If the argument expression evaluates to NULL, the result is NULL.
The char_expression, the character set specified by char_set, and the result can contain multi-byte characters. Character comparisons are case sensitive and are determined by the collation table in the database.
