Rick, why do you believe that Derby will return a subset of the
rows, it doesn't seem to follow from any of the other posts in this
thread?

Dan.
Hi Dan,

Thanks for helping me puzzle through this. Consider the example we
are working with, a collation in which 'z' = 'xy'. What happens with
the following insert:

 insert into T(A) values ( 'zcb' ), ( 'xycb' )

followed by this query:

 select * from T where T.A like 'xy_b'

If I  understand what is being said, it seems like the following
happens: the ANSI rules return both rows but Derby returns only (
xycb' )
I thought Derby was following the ANSI rules for LIKE. From memory,
LIKE operators on a character by character basis, not collation
elements.

Yes, I remember that we discussed this and came to that conclusion. See
ISO/IEC 9075-2:2003 (E), Section 8.5 <like predicate>, general rule 3c.

Hi Dan and Knut,

Thanks for that pointer. I'm tracking now.

Regards,
-Rick
