I have a table with two fields (countries and ISO codes):
Table1
field1 - e.g. 'Afghanistan' (without quotes)
field2 - e.g. 'AF'(without quotes)
In some rows the second field has whitespace at the start and/or end, which is affecting queries.
Table1
field1 - e.g. 'Afghanistan' (without quotes)
field2 - e.g. ' AF' (without quotes but with that space in front)
Is there a way (in SQL) to go through the table and find/replace the whitespace in field2?
You're looking for TRIM.
UPDATE FOO set FIELD2 = TRIM(FIELD2);
