in-DB Cleanse Tool

I use the cleanse tool a lot to remove extra spaces before and after my data.  Since most of my work is done in-DB, I have to datastream out, cleanse, and then datastream back in.  Would love to see an In-DB Cleanse tool added.

I'd say that cleaning whitespace is really easy in SQL with TRIM() and REPLACE(), but what's a little more complicated is imputation and null cleansing which you can do with the non-in-db Cleansing Tool.
