<table definition and good examples skipped> Why would you want collate AFTER containing? I must admit I haven't tried your queries in Fb 3.0 (I'm still on 2.5), but I'd say the sensible way to specify what you want, would be SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE NAME COLLATE UNICODE_CI_AI CONTAINING 'o'; //returns four rows on an old 2.5 installation and not SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE NAME CONTAINING 'o' COLLATE UNICODE_CI_AI; //gives a 'data type unknown' error message I read your statement as "'o' COLLATE UNICODE_CI_AI", not the entire where clause being told to use that collation. Though, as I said, I don't have Fb 3.0 on this computer and don't know whether or not Fb agrees with me.
