Did you try the first query again? Is it possible that another "Szczech" was added in the time you did both queries? What happens when you the simple
mysql> select id_c, name, from clients where name like 'Szczec%'; and mysql> select id_c, name, from clients where name like 'Szczech'; and most importantly mysql> select id_c, name, from clients where name = 'Szczech'; The answers to those will help figure out what's going wrong. -Sheeri On 5/31/06, Lukasz Budnik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi All, I'm using 5.0.21 on Gentoo. I've got very strange problem. I have clients table with id_c and name columns. I'm running simple selects: mysql> select id_c, name, concat('#',name, '@'), length(name) from clients where name like 'Szczec%'; +-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+ | id_c | name | concat('#',name, '@') | length(name) | +-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+ | 30181 | Szczech | #Szczech@ | 7 | +-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select id_c, name, concat('#',name, '@'), length(name) from clients where name like 'Szczech'; +-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+ | id_c | name | concat('#',name, '@') | length(name) | +-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+ | 30181 | Szczech | #Szczech@ | 7 | | 30693 | Szczech | #Szczech@ | 7 | +-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) ups... what's going on? % stands for (m)any character(s) but returned 1 row, when % replaced with 'h' the same query returned 2 rows. I'm using latin2 charsets but 'h' is standard latin1 character. Any ideas? thanks in advance for any help best regards Lukasz Budnik -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
