Remove Leading and Trailing Spaces in SQL Server

Remove Leading and Trailing Spaces in SQL Server
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SQL Server has two built-in string trimming functions, LTRIM and RTRIM, these remove leading and trailing spaces respectively. There is no built-in function to remove arbitrary leading and/or trailing whitespace, including TABs, CR and/or LFs.
The built-in functions return the datatype of their input, whereas the UDFs below return explicit datatypes. I've put together a few variations of my trim whitespace function, one for non-unicode text, and a basic and advanced one for unicode text. For the sake of performance and convenience I've treated all control characters (0 - 31) as whitespace.
Note that from a performance point of view these UDFs will be considerably slower than the built-in functions so don't use them inside a large loop or when returning a large rowset unless you're sure you'll have non-space whitespace.
These functions are suitable for SQL Server 2005 and 2008 as well as SQL Server 2000 (just remove the RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT function option and convert the (max) types to a suitable fixed length type).
