MariaDB TRIM_ORACLE SQL Function - Remove spaces or characters

TRIM_ORACLESyntax:TRIM_ORACLE([[Type] [Delete character] FROM] String)
Return value:CHAR
Function type:String function
Function Description

The TRIM_ORACLE() function removes spaces or a defined "Delete character" from the beginning and/or end of a "String".

The optional parameter "Type" can have the following values: BOTH, LEADING or TRAILING.

If "Type" is not specified, BOTH is the default and the "Delete character" or spaces are removed from the beginning and the end of the "String".

If "Delete character" is not specified, spaces will be removed.

If the value of "String" is NULL, the TRIM_ORACLE() function returns NULL.


Unlike TRIM, TRIM_ORACLE() returns NULL if the result is an empty string.

The feature is available from MariaDB version 10.3.6. This feature is not present in MySQL 8.0.

How to use the TRIM_ORACLE() function in MariaDB databases

In MariaDB the TRIM_ORACLE() function is used to remove leading and trailing spaces, or other specified characters, from a string. This allows strings to be cleaned up by removing unnecessary spaces or specific characters at the beginning and end. The TRIM_ORACLE() function is often used to clean data, normalize input, or remove unnecessary characters before performing comparisons or storing data. Unlike the TRIM() function, TRIM_ORACLE() returns NULL if the inheritance is empty.
