    let query = 
`SELECT TRIM('   Geeks For Geeks   ') AS TRIM_Output`;

Example 2: Dynamic Query

    password: '',
    database: 'gfg_db'

db_con.connect((err) => {
    if (err) {
      console.log("Database Connection Failed !!!", err);
      return;
    }

    console.log("We are connected to gfg_db database");

    // Notice the ? in query
    let query = `SELECT TRIM(?) AS TRIM_Output`;
    
    // Dynamic Input
    let input_string = "    Pratik Raut   ";

    // Notice Second Dynamic Parameter
    db_con.query(query, input_string, (err, rows) => {
        if(err) throw err;

        console.log(rows);
    });
