<div class="Section1"><p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">I've come across an odd
situation.I've had access to a database where a the following happens:<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">"
SELECT* FROM table WHERE name LIKE 'abc%' " returns 2 rows...<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">but...<p
class="MsoNormal"> <pclass="MsoNormal">" SELECT * FROM table WHERE name IN (SELECT name FROM table WHERE name LIKE
'abc%')" returns 0 rows...<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">I've also tried doing a join on the column to
anothertable that has what appears to be the same data, and the join comes out with zero rows. Weirder yet, I took the
hashof both of the values and it came out identical.<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Now, I know the first
thingyou'll ask is if you can get a copy of the data to re-produce it, and the problem is, I got a copy of the data in
question,and loaded into another server and it works fine. Both queries return 2 rows.<p class="MsoNormal"> <p
class="MsoNormal">Ido know that server it was running on was not an english server, but don't know the exact language.
Thedatabase uses a UTF8 encoding though, so I don't know what that would make any difference.<p class="MsoNormal"> <p
class="MsoNormal">Anyideas about things I should be looking at?<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<p
