No. But. . .

. . .yes. The problem has to so with the char() data type, which is
padded per spec. So if you do anything on it, you need to trim() it.
I believe there is a special case in place in the spec just for the
SELECTs, but someone more familiar with the specification can help.
If you don't really need exactly 40 characters, use varchar() or text().
