It is mainly used to eliminate excess spaces at the beginning and end of a string, in order to clean up input or output data.<\/p><p>Among the white spaces supported by TRIM are spaces, tabs, line breaks and similar control characters.<\/p><p>The basic syntax of this function is relatively simple: &#8220;TRIM ([characters FROM] string)&#8221;.<\/p><p>The &#8220;characters&#8221; part is a list of characters to be removed from the string.

Remember also to index frequently used columns, and to assess the need for cleansing at the time of import.<\/p><p>Always with a view to ensuring efficiency, don&#8217;t hesitate to document your code, indicating why and how you use<strong> TRIM.<\/strong> You can also run performance tests to assess the impact on your queries.<\/p><p>Also bear in mind that this function is case-sensitive by default, unless you use case-modifying functions such as <strong>UPPER or LOWER<\/strong>. Make sure you always have a backup copy of your data before modifying it.<\/p><p>To avoid having to use TRIM, you can use cleaning tools to pre-process your data before importing it into a database.
