Hi Danny,

I can reproduce your results if I create the database with collation=TERRITORY_BASED:PRIMARY. I am not an expert on the behavior of this collation. However, I see that this issue came up last year on derby-user in this thread: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.db.derby.user/12851

Hope this helps,
-Rick

Actually yes, I am using a collation: TERRITORY_BASED:PRIMARY.   In this 
specific case would be en_US

Which from my understanding and reading of the documentation should effect 
case, not the existence or nonexistence of characters.

Thanks,

Danny

Hi Danny,

I can't reproduce this problem (see the script below, which runs correctly for 
me). Are you using a special collation in this database?

connect 'jdbc:derby:memory:db;create=true';

create table t( a varchar( 50 ) );
insert into t( a ) values ( 'LKFS-ASP' );

-- no results
select * from t where a = 'LKFSASP';

insert into t( a ) values ( 'LKFSASP' );

-- returns 1 row
select * from t where a = 'LKFSASP';

Thanks,
-Rick
