you could use LTRIM to remove all leading whitespaces: java2s.com/Code/PostgreSQL/String-Functions/ltrimname.htm –  cptPH Dec 3 '13 at 10:18

Try this:

To show without space:

select trim(kota) from yourtable

To change your data:

update yourtable set kota = trim(kota);

TRIM function is different to REPLACE. REPLACE substitutes all occurences of a string, instead TRIM remove only the space at the start and at the end of your string

If you want remove only from the start you can use LTRIM instead about the end you can use RTRIM
