SQL - Like and wildcard, not expected result
I'm still a newbie with SQL so please be patient with me.
I have got the following WHERE statement in a query:
WHERE Scopes.Name = 'APAC' AND Sites.City LIKE '%o%'
It's producing the following result (as expected):
While if I remove the ending wildcard, like this:
WHERE Scopes.Name = 'APAC' AND Sites.City LIKE '%o'
It results in an empty table. What I cannot understand is that the city name "Repetto" clearly ends with a "o", thus LIKE '%o' in the query should be producing the same result as LIKE '%o%'.
Am I misunderstanding the use of the wildcards? Can anyone kindly explain to me the logic behind?
The use of wildcards is correct. What this means is that there is a character after the o in 'Repetto'.
This could be a hidden character or a space. One possibility is that the column is declared as a char() rather than a varchar(), so the value is padded with spaces.
