To trim trailing spaces in Teradata table columns, you can use the TRIM function in a SELECT statement. Here is an example of how you can do this:

1
2
SELECT TRIM(column_name) AS trimmed_column
FROM your_table_name;


This query will select the column_name from your_table_name and trim any trailing spaces from the values in that column. The TRIM function removes any leading or trailing spaces from the string.


You can also update the table to remove trailing spaces permanently by using an UPDATE statement:

1
2
UPDATE your_table_name
SET column_name = TRIM(column_name);


Make sure to replace your_table_name and column_name with the actual names of your table and column.
