• i have this code in where clause RTRIM(LTRIM(ODER_ID))= ' ',WHAT THis do

    It filters out rows with non-blank oder_id values. RTRIM and LTRIM simply remove spaces from a string on the right and left.

    As an example;

    with SampleTable as (

    select ' hi ' as oder_id, 1 as Col2 union all

    select ' ', 2 union all

    select '', 3

    )

    select * from SampleTable where rtrim(ltrim(oder_id))=''
