Does the MySQL TRIM function not trim line breaks or carriage returns?

Question

From my experiments, it does not appear to do so. If this is indeed true, what is the best method for removing line breaks? I\'m currently experimenting with the parameters

Answer 1

select trim(both '\r\n' from FIELDNAME) from TABLE; should work if select trim(both '\n' from FIELDNAME) from TABLE; doesn't work.
