Thread: Why doesn't this work

Hi Barbara,

from what I see in your msg, you have a /cr at the end of the
filename. You should check for weird stuff and trim it away (before
insert triggers do wonders at this).

Cheers

It seems like you've got a newline at the end of the first field of the last 
row.

Does it work if you change the query to

SELECT id FROM image WHERE image LIKE '%demo-harvey wallbanger.jpg%'

?

Try select id from image where image.image ~'demo-harvey wallbanger';

If you example data is correct, I think you have a line-feed char after 
'.jpg'
