Isn't à an upper-case letter? In which case lower(address) will never match it since by definition lower(address) will only contain characters which are lower case. That is if address contains a "Ã" then lower(address) will contain an "ã" instead which won't match the "Ã" in the pattern. I think you either need to put a lower() on both sides of the LIKE or use ILIKE. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Get trained by Bruce Momjian - ask me about EnterpriseDB's PostgreSQL training! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
