Question

When I insert data in PostgreSQL, it is auto inserting many spaces after the value of the field.

I tired to fix it, but I can’t find anything

For example: I want to insert value ‘John’ in column ‘Name’. It inserts spaces after John.

->> 'John______________________________________________________________'

Answer 1

character is an awful data type that should not be used. This is just one of the reasons. See character types – postgresql manual.

Change those fields to text or to varchar(n). text with a check constraint on length where one is required is usually the best option.

ALTER TABLE thetable ALTER COLUMN colname TYPE text;

BTW, it’s easier to answer your questions if you post the SQL and – preferably – the output of running that SQL in psql, which produces copy-and-pasteable plain text output.
