Subject: [Pljava-dev] char with trailing space,
	PreparedStatement.setObject & SetString
Message-ID: <BAY16-F122D445F6E3BA71358D5CA957E0@phx.gbl>

Hi,

Trailing space are not handled properly by setObject & setString.

PreparedStatement pstmt = connection.prepareStatement(
   "select * from mytable where mycharcolumn = ?");

String myString = "abc ";
pstmt.setObject(1, myString); // or setObject(1, myString, Types.CHAR) or 
setString(1, myString)

No rows are returned, but using trim works fine as in:
pstmt.setObject(1, myString.trim());

My environment is Pl/Java 1.3, Sun JDK 1.5.07,  PostgreSQL 8.1.4, Windows XP 
SP2

With PostgreSQL own (non pl/java) jdbc driver, setObject on char works fine 
without the trim.

Thanks,
