Both "Szczech" exist in system.
I added concat and length to check it there are any white spaces or stuff.
I've just run all 3 queries and the results are:
1. like with 'Szczec%'
mysql> select id_c, name, concat('#',name, '@'), length(name) from clients
where name like 'Szczec%';
+-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+
| id_c | name | concat('#',name, '@') | length(name) |
+-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+
| 30181 | Szczech | #Szczech@ | 7 |
+-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
2. like with full name 'Szczech'
mysql> select id_c, name, concat('#',name, '@'), length(name) from clients
where name like 'Szczech';
+-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+
| id_c | name | concat('#',name, '@') | length(name) |
+-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+
| 30181 | Szczech | #Szczech@ | 7 |
| 30693 | Szczech | #Szczech@ | 7 |
+-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
3. name = 'Szczech'
mysql> select id_c, name, concat('#',name, '@'), length(name) from clients
where name = 'Szczech';
+-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+
| id_c | name | concat('#',name, '@') | length(name) |
+-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+
| 30181 | Szczech | #Szczech@ | 7 |
| 30693 | Szczech | #Szczech@ | 7 |
+-------+----------+---------------------------+------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
I'm losing my mind - no idea what's going on with this name.
Any hints most welcome ;)
