## Purpose
The `RTRIMTEXT` SQL function trims the right side of a text by a list of trim texts. When the text ends with a trim text, the trim text is removed.

Parameters:
- Text (`varchar2`): text to be trimmed.
- Trim Text (optional, `varchar2`): text(s) we want to right trim from Text.
Returns: the trimmed text.
## Examples
The following example trims the text ` B.V.` from the right side of `Invantive B.V.`:
```sql
select rtrimtext('John Doe', ' Doe')
-------------------
John
```
The following example repeatedly trims the text `s` from the right side of `applesssssssssss`:
```sql
select rtrimtext('applesssssssssss', 's')
