How can I remove the leading and trailing spaces both at once from a string without using MySQL LTRIM() and RTRIM() functions?



Other than LTRIM() and RTRIM() functions, MySQL has TRIM() function to remove leading and trailing function both at once from a string. The use of TRIM() function can be understood from the following example of a test_trim table which has a column ‘Name’ containing the names with leading and trailing spaces.

Example

mysql> Select Name, TRIM(Name)AS 'Name Without Spaces' from test_trim; +---------------+---------------------+ | Name          | Name Without Spaces | +---------------+---------------------+ | Gaurav        | Gaurav              | | Rahul         | Rahul               | | Aarav         | Aarav               | +---------------+---------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
