Question

I have made a SQLite application for my iPhone.
When i test my SELECT on my SQLite DB placed on my iMac everything works fine, but when on iPhone i get no rows returned.

SELECT ID, SAP_PART_NR, SAP_DESC, MOQ, INC, NLT, DISCOUNT_CODE, AD_EURO, AD_USD, OEM_EURO, OEM_USD FROM Component WHERE SAP_PART_NR LIKE '%AWM423%' LIMIT 200

Now the strange part

When i use the select below on the iPhone, one record returns with the SAP_PART_NR AWM42300V

SELECT ID, SAP_PART_NR, SAP_DESC, MOQ, INC, NLT, DISCOUNT_CODE, AD_EURO, AD_USD, OEM_EURO, OEM_USD FROM Component WHERE SAP_PART_NR LIKE '%AWM42%' LIMIT 200

Both selects returns a row (as they should), when tested on the iMac

Is it some kind of bug on the iPhone/SQlite ?

i’m not able to figure it out….All my hair has turned grey….:-(

Solved – look in the comments. I’m still not 100% sure why/how this solved it though..
