Before you kick me out of the group, can you please explain.
I thought the orig issue was that purposefully spaces/whitespace are being ignored (or not ignored.) in the select. Maybe there was an email in the middle that I missed.
create table matt_test (c1 int)
insert into matt_test values ('123')
insert into matt_test values (' 123')
insert into matt_test values ('123 ')
select c1 from matt_test where c1 = '123'
-- all 3 rows returned.
Is it expected behavior that all 3 rows would be returned (because the space isn’t an INT?)
Works as I would expect with TEXT
create table matt_test2 (c2 text)
insert into matt_test2 values ('123')
insert into matt_test2 values (' 123')
insert into matt_test2 values ('123 ')
select c2 from matt_test2 where c2 = '123'
-- 1 rows returned.
