I have created a database: norsk.db a table: dictionary
sqlite> .schema CREATE TABLE dictionary(Ord varchar(255), Word varchar(255), GV varchar(255), Part varchar(255), PrTDS varchar(255), PaTIP varchar(255), PPDP varchar(255)); sqlite> The table contents were imported from a UTF-8 csv file. There are nearly 4000 records. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/sql$ sqlite3 norsk.db SQLite version 3.4.2 Enter ".help" for instructions sqlite> Here is a select operation that works: sqlite> select * from dictionary where Part = ""; "annenhver"|"every other"||||| "april"|"April"||||| "armbrøst ?"|||||| "august"|"August"||||| "bedrukket"|"finished drinking"||||| "bespist"|"finished eating"||||| "bortafor"|"beyond, on the other side"||||| "desember"|"December"||||| "elleve"|"eleven"||||| "ellevte"|"eleventh"||||| "ett"|"one"||||| "Europa"|"Europe"||||| "februar"|"February"||||| "fem"|"five"||||| "femte"|"fifth"||||| "femten"|"fifteen"||||| "femti"|"fifty"||||| "femtiende"|"fiftieth"||||| "fire"|"four"||||| "fjerde"|"fourth"||||| "fjorten"|"fourteen"||||| "fjortende"|"fourteenth"||||| "fredag"|"Friday"||||| "fridag"|"Friday"||||| "førti"|"forty"||||| "førtiende"|"fortieth"||||| "gruble ?"|"brood, mull over, muse, ponder"|||"grubler"|"grublet"| "hundre"|"hundred"||||| "ja"|"yes"||||| "januar"|"January"||||| "juli"|"July"||||| "juni"|"June"||||| "kalosjer ?"|"boots, galoshes"||||| "kattugle"|"tawny owl"||||| "kjent"|"little bit, mite, smidgen"||||| "lørdag"|"Saturday"||||| "mai"|"May"||||| "maks"|"max"||||| "mandag"|"Monday"||||| "mars"|"March"||||| "mjo ?"|||||| "nedbør"|"precipitation"|"en"||"nedbøren"|| "nedentil ?"|"underneath"||||| "nei"|"no"||||| "ni"|"nine"||||| "niende"|"ninth"||||| "nitiende"|"ninetieth"||||| "nitten"|"nineteen"||||| "nittende"|"nineteenth"||||| "nitti"|"ninety"||||| "nord"|"north"||||| "nord-norge"|"Northern Norway"||||| "november"|"November"||||| "null"|"zero"||||| "oktober"|"October"||||| "onsdag"|"Wednesday"||||| "røre"|"mixture"|"et/a"||"røret/røra"|"rører"|"rørene" "seks"|"six"||||| "seksten"|"sixteen"||||| "sekstende"|"sixteenth"||||| "seksti"|"sixty"||||| "sekstiende"|"sixtieth"||||| "senest"|"since"||||| "september"|"September"||||| "skjer ?"|"happen"||||| "skrevs"|"astraddle, astride, striding"|"adv."|||| "smaragdene"|||||| "striks"|"strict; exacting, scrupulous"|||"adj."|| "sverige"|"Sweden"||||| "sytten"|"seventeen"||||| "syttende"|"seventeenth"||||| "sytti"|"seventy"||||| "syttiende"|"seventieth"||||| "søndag"|"Sunday"||||| "sør"|"south"||||| "sørover"|"southwards"||||| "ta imot ?"|"accept, receive"||||| "ti"|"ten"||||| "tiende"|"tenth"||||| "tirsdag"|"Tuesday"||||| "tjue"|"twenty"||||| "tjuende"|"twentieth"||||| "to"|"two"||||| "tolv"|"twelve"||||| "tolvte"|"twelfth"||||| "tom ?"|"empty, vacant, deserted"|"adj."|||| "torsdag"|"Thursday"||||| "tre"|"three"||||| "tretten"|"thirteen"||||| "trettende"|"thirteenth"||||| "tretti"|"thirty"||||| "trettiende"|"thirtieth"||||| "trøndelag"|"area to north and south of Trondheim"||||| "tusen"|"thousand"||||| "ukevis ?"|||||| "æbødigst"|"yours faithfully"||||| "åffer ?"|"why"||||| "åtte"|"eight"||||| "åttende"|"eighth"||||| "åtti"|"eighty"||||| "åttiende"|"eightieth"||||| sqlite> In the above example, I am selecting records with a particular blank field. If I attempt to select for anything but blank, I get nothing: sqlite> select * from dictionary where Word = "eleven"; sqlite> You will note that "eleven" is in record nine from the preceding selection. I am sure this is due to the fact that I am an idiot, but I could use some help. Has anyone any ideas? Does it have anything to do with UTF-8?
