Hi

I have the following two queries:

1) select count(*) from mappings where substring(virtual from 1 for 1) = '@';
2) select count(*) from mappings where virtual like '@%';

both should do the same thing - give me a count of virtual which starts with '@'.

however, the results returned are different

Statement 1 returns 12
Statement 2 returns 2623

Is there an error in my tables? If so, how would I fix it?

Regards
