I am writing a query in which I want to select a field and not have the
trailing blank spaces. Here is my query: select employid, lastname + ',' +
frstname as name from upr00100

The results look like this "West ,Paul" or "Mcbee
,Ryan"

How can I get results to look like "West,Paul" or "McBee,Ryan"?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

SELECT employeeid, RTRIM(lastname) + ',' + firstname AS name
FROM upr00100;
