Constraint comparing blanks.

[Alan Campin <alan0307d@xxxxxxxxx>]

When you are declare DDL for an SQL defined table we use a lot of stuff like
this

NAME <> ' ';

I would have thought that this would expand to be compare say 10 char name
to 10 char blank but I saw today that is not true.

If you have the following in a field name the test will fail because it only
looks at the first character.

<b>THOMAS<b><b><b> where <b> is a blank.

What is the correct way to declare this test? In RPG you have a *ALL' ' but
not in SQL.

You surely don't want to code

NAME <> '          '

I know there has to be a simple way to do it. Just can't think of it off the
top of my head.
