Dear all,
While checking the last Beta3-Beta4 Changelog of Postgres 8.0,
I saw the following:
* doc/TODO: Remove completed items:
<snip>
* -Make LENGTH() of
CHAR() not count trailing spaces
If I understand correctly, this will lead to the following situation:
CHAR_LENGTH('ABCD') == CHAR_LENGTH('ABCD ') == 4
This will definitely break some of our applications.
Just want to be sure if this LENGTH() behaviour _will_ appear
on the next version of Postgres. If true, can we somehow revert
to the current LENGTH() behaviour?
Can someone, please, clarify this issue?
Thanks a lot.
