Oracle Date TO_CHAR('Month DD, YYYY') has extra spaces in it

Why are there extra spaces between my month and day? Why does't it just put them next to each other?

So your output will be aligned.

If you don't want padding use the format modifier FM:

SELECT TO_CHAR (date_field, 'fmMonth DD, YYYY') 
  FROM ...;

Reference: Format Model Modifiers

if you use 'Month' in to_char it right pads to 9 characters; you have to use the abbreviated 'MON', or to_char then trim and concatenate it to avoid this. See, http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/to_char.php

select trim(to_char(date_field, 'month')) || ' ' || to_char(date_field,'dd, yyyy')
  from ...

or

select to_char(date_field,'mon dd, yyyy')
  from ...  

You should use fm element to delete blank spaces.

SELECT TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'fmDAY DD "de" MONTH "de" YYYY') CURRENT_DATE
FROM   dual;
