but how should i do it within a stored procedure
something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION insert(varchar(65),varchar(65),date,varchar(256)) RETURNS retval AS'
DECLARE
patName text;
BEGIN
patName := trim($1);
select trim(trailing `^` from patName) INTO patName;
trim(patName);
this seems to be giving syntax error
thanks,
regards

Per SQL spec:
regression=# select trim(trailing '^' from 'abc def^^^^');
rtrim
---------
abc def
(1 row)
