Hello again,

I have found several posts that talk about trailing spaces in output from 
the freetds driver.  I am connecting to a sybase database with php and from 
what I read, the reason I am getting spaces after the data I want is 
because the column is a CHAR column and the size of the data is < the size 
of the column.

Some things I have read suggest changing the DB structure.  That is not an 
option.  Some have suggested changing the php code, but I have been 
developing with the Sybase ODBC driver on a Windows system, which 
automatically trimmed the data, and that would entail a lot of changed code 
and checking for errors.

So, I would like to know if I can change the freetds in some way, either 
configuration or recompiliation, so that it mimics the Sybase ODBC driver 
and trims the data of spaces automatically?

Thank you in advance.
