    I don't think audit triggers are relevant any more, given the better options built into SQL itself now.

    I've not found those options to do so well.

    Interesting. ...

    It doesn't need a trigger because the data doesn't change, it just needs to be cleaned up.

    But the trigger DOES the clean up, which guarantees that (1) it occurs and...

    To me that is vastly better than using LTRIM/RTRIM on all subsequent queries!

    You certainly have a valid point. Not sure that adding an insert/update trigger on every table...

    To be fair, higher precision in intermediate calculations in complex equations can in fact cause errors rather than solving them.

    I don't think I agree that you should just add a trigger to trim spaces but we can agree to disagree here.
