Hello
But why don't you expect such a result?
The letter a was definitely mentioned in the list of characters to trim.
select trim('nextval' from 'auth_table_id_seq');
btrim
------------------
uth_table_id_seq
Is expected result. Probably you need some other string manipulation function.
regards, Sergei

Not a bug. trim() receives a *set* of characters to remove, not a
*substring* to remove, so the 'a' in 'auth' is matched to the 'a' in
'nextval(' and gets removed.
You can probably achieve what you want by combining substring() with
position() and char_length(), or by using a regular expression in
regexp_replace().
