At one time in SQL Server T-SQL at least it was not possible to get a correct match when look for “WHERE Field1 = ‘at’ ” when Field1 was a char column of length 5. It was necessary to do either “WHERE Field1 = ‘at ‘ ” or “WHERE RTrim(Field1) = ‘at’ “. Based on your recommendations against it are you saying that this is no longer necessary?

RTrim removes the trailing spaces (i.e. thos which come AFTER the text), which are those on the Right. That’s why the “R” in RTrim. The spaces on the left are leadings spaces because they come first, thus the “L” in LTrim.

What are the best practices for keeping referential integrity across multiple databases?

In both the point you have written RTRIM function replace point 2 with LTRIM

Small Mistake in below Post

2) RTRIM – Removes the Spaces on the left side (or trailing spaces) of the string.
