LTRIM(str): Removes all white spaces from the beginning of the string.
RTRIM(str): Removes all white spaces at the end of the string.

Example 1:
SELECT TRIM('   Sample   ');
Result: 'Sample'

Example 2:
SELECT LTRIM('   Sample   ');
Result: 'Sample   '

Example 3:
SELECT RTRIM('   Sample   ');
Result: '   Sample'

Solution 3

LTRIM : Returns a character expression after removing leading blanks.

RTRIM : Returns a character string after truncating all trailing blanks.

I would start from http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_join.asp for learning about JOINS.
