LTRIM

LTRIM removes blanks from the beginning of a character string expression.

Syntax

LTRIM(CharacterExpression)

A CharacterExpression is a CHAR, VARCHAR, or LONG VARCHAR data type, any built-in type that is implicitly converted to a string.

LTRIM returns NULL if CharacterExpression evaluates to null.
