would result in the first being evaluated as less than the second with a PAD SPACE Collation and as less than the second with a NO PAD Collation (assuming that the Collations both use the familiar Latin collating rules.)

Should it be "would result in the first being evaluated as an equivalent to the second with a PAD SPACE Collation"?

Dear Yuan,

thank you for your feedback on this topic and apologies for the late reply.

The content within this repository is a verbatim copy of the SQL-99 Complete, Really book. In order to reproduce its original content, we will probably not make any changes to it. However, we could think about adding a custom errata section if that would fit your bill.

Maybe @jayeff also has any suggestions about how to proceed on this matter.

With kind regards, Andreas.
