Re: Where clause apparently failing

this is a SWAG,

did someone change the normal way the % sign works and map it to # instead? I know it don't make sense but thought i'd throw it out anyways on a fridat afternoon :)

Where clause apparently failing

Greetings,

I'm running 64-bit Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 EE on Windows server 2003.

The select statement

select patient_id, study_number
from ucdv_cc_summaryae
where study_number = 'UCDCC#128';

returns 8693 rows. Many of these rows have study_number other than ucdcc#128 including ucdcc#157, ucdcc#159, ucdcc#165, ucdcc#171, etc.

ucdv_cc_summaryae is a view and the column study_number is varchar2(100). I am perplexed and would appreciate any thoughts. I am still having difficulty getting to Oracle docs online.

Thanks.
