Обсуждение: Missing rows in resultset

I got a table holding tv air time but I got a unexpected (to me)
behaviour.
Using like, I do not get the recordset I'd like.

I've installed it using mac-ports on an old mac-mini, ppc

I'd expect to see the same rows with wildcard, as I see without, see
below

Or is it just beeing late, and me being blind?

* isn't the SQL wildcard character. % is.
