| Subj: |  | Valid trailing spaces in key values |  |  |  | From: |  | Anomy Anom |  
 <-- Anonymously Posted: Thursday, February 23, 2012 13:56 --> We are trying to convert data from Oracle to Teradata.  There is a key column in Oracle that has trailing spaces that are valid spaces for the
key value.  For example: 'abc  '  is different from 'abc'.  We can not load into a character field because it will add trailing spaces and the value of 'abc   ' (three
tailing spaces) will be different than 'abc     ' (five tailing spaces).  If we define as varchar, the trailing spaces are removed. Does anyone have a work around for this problem?
