I am trying to compare a large string (that has new line characters in
it) to the contents of the text field (which also has new line
characters in it) and it is not behaving as expected.
For example I have the following record in the database:
id=83
message=VAC153-683-685-131830-
/O.NEW.KLWX.SV.W.0022.060413T1742Z-060413T1830Z/
BULLETIN - EAS ACTIVATION REQUESTED
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
142 PM EDT THU APR 13 2006
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STERLING VIRGINIA HAS ISSUED A
* SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING
If I do the following query
SELECT id FROM table1 WHERE message='VAC153-683-685-131830-
/O.NEW.KLWX.SV.W.0022.060413T1742Z-060413T1830Z/

I get no results back, even though the message is equivalent. How
should I perform this comparison so that the above query returns id=83?
Thanks.
