Both "Szczech" exist in system. I added concat and length to check it there are any white spaces or stuff. I've just run all 3 queries and the results are: 1. like with 'Szczec%' 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) 2. like with full name 'Szczech' 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) 3. name = 'Szczech' mysql> select id_c, name, concat('#',name, '@'), length(name) from clients where name = 'Szczech'; +-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+ | id_c | name | concat('#',name, '@') | length(name) | +-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+ | 30181 | Szczech | #Szczech@ | 7 | | 30693 | Szczech | #Szczech@ | 7 | +-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) I'm losing my mind - no idea what's going on with this name.
