TRIM & LTRIM & RTRIM 的用法。
真的和你想得一样的简单吗?
[@more@]LTRIM(char [, set ])
LTRIM
removes from the left end of char
all of the characters contained in set
. If you do not specify set
, it defaults to a single blank. If char
is a character literal, then you must enclose it in single quotes. Oracle Database begins scanning char
from its first character and removes all characters that appear in set
until reaching a character not in set
and then returns the result.
Both char
and set
can be any of the datatypes CHAR
, VARCHAR2
, NCHAR
, NVARCHAR2
, CLOB
, or NCLOB
. The string returned is of VARCHAR2
datatype and is in the same character set as char
.
Examples
The following example trims all of the left-most x's and y's from a string:
SELECT LTRIM('xyxXxyLAST WORD','xy') "LTRIM example" FROM DUAL; LTRIM example ------------ XxyLAST WORD
RTRIM(char [, set ])
RTRIM
removes from the right end of char
all of the characters that appear in set
. This function is useful for formatting the output of a query.
If you do not specify set
, then it defaults to a single blank. If char
is a character literal, then you must enclose it in single quotes. RTRIM
works similarly to LTRIM
.

Examples
The following example trims all the right-most occurrences of period, slash, and equal sign from a string:
SELECT RTRIM('BROWNING: ./=./=./=./=./=.=','/=.') "RTRIM example" FROM DUAL; RTRIM exam ---------- BROWNING:
TRIM([ { { LEADING | TRAILING | BOTH } [ trim_character ] | trim_character } FROM ] trim_source )Purpose
TRIM
enables you to trim leading or trailing characters (or both) from a character string. If trim_character
or trim_source
is a character literal, then you must enclose it in single quotes.
If you specify
LEADING
, then Oracle Database removes any leading characters equal totrim_character
.If you specify
TRAILING
, then Oracle removes any trailing characters equal totrim_character
.If you specify
BOTH
or none of the three, then Oracle removes leading and trailing characters equal totrim_character
.If you do not specify
trim_character
, then the default value is a blank space.If you specify only
trim_source
, then Oracle removes leading and trailing blank spaces.The function returns a value with datatype
VARCHAR2
. The maximum length of the value is the length oftrim_source
.If either
trim_source
ortrim_character
is null, then theTRIM
function returns null.
Both trim_character
and trim_source
can be any of the datatypes CHAR
, VARCHAR2
, NCHAR
, NVARCHAR2
, CLOB
, or NCLOB
. The string returned is of VARCHAR2
datatype and is in the same character set as trim_source
.
Examples
This example trims leading zeroes from the hire date of the employees in the hr
schema:
SELECT employee_id, TO_CHAR(TRIM(LEADING 0 FROM hire_date)) FROM employees WHERE department_id = 60; EMPLOYEE_ID TO_CHAR(T ----------- --------- 103 3-JAN-90 104 21-MAY-91 105 25-JUN-97 106 5-FEB-98 107 7-FEB-99
LTRIM会把set中出现的字符全部删除,直到有不再set中出现的字符后停止。
RTRIM和LTRIM一样,不过是从右边开始。
TRIM可以设置从左或从右或者从2边,但是trim的截取集只能是单个字符。
