I see. What I couldn't understand till now is how you ended up with such data. This explains it :-)

NB!!! MS SQL server behaves the same way as MS Access. NB!!!

In my tests HSQLDB will not yield a match for WHERE "foo"="foo<space>"

And why should it? The two are not equal. (this is VARCHAR's, right?)

I prefer HSQLDB's behaviour. That MS Access & MS SQL Server yield
a match in this case is *stopid*.

The problem is that we're trying to lift an old application from MS
Access & MS SQL server + .asp over to Cayenne + Tapestry. While we
are waiting for the write-from-scratch & migration to complete for
all customers, we need to be bug-by-bug compatible with the old
database. That might not be possible, but things will go much,
much smoother if we can achieve it(since we don't have to
touch the .asp + vbscript code then). We have also have
some particularly imaginative and unusual plans for those
"developers" that "exploited" this particular quirk in MS Access/MS SQL
server :-)

Once the migration is complete, we'll toss out MS Access & MS SQL
server.
