Marcel (marcel@simmcomm.ch) reports a bug with a severity of 3 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description Select where (upper(xy)~'.CH'); ..matches also SPACE CH Long Description There exists a problem with the ~ statement. The codesample and the text is from an adult contact database. The compare string .CH matches the word 'EINEN CHANCE' in the sentence. Seems to be, that the . will match the space between the words. This doesn't happen, if you replace .CH with _CH or something else.
