RTRIM function

RTRIM is a string manipulation function that manipulates all data types (BIT, BLOB, and CHARACTER), and removes trailing singletons from a string.

Syntax

RTRIM returns a string value of the same data type and content as source_string but with any trailing default singletons removed. The term singleton refers to a single part (BIT, BLOB, or CHARACTER) within a string of that type.

The RTRIM function is equivalent to TRIM(TRAILING FROM source_string).

If the parameter is NULL, the result is NULL.

The default singleton depends on the data type of source_string:
Character ' ' (space)
BLOB X'00'
Bit B'0'
