varchar

I have the following SQL statement which returns a single record as expected:

select * from geodatasource_cities C, geodatasource_countries D where C.CC_FIPS = D.CC_FIPS and D.CC_ISO='AU' and UCASE(TRIM(C.FULL_NAME_ND)) LIKE '%JAN JUE%';

However, If I use the following SQL statement, no records are returned. I have only changed the LIKE clause to an equal to clause:

select * from geodatasource_cities C, geodatasource_countries D where C.CC_FIPS = D.CC_FIPS and D.CC_ISO='AU' and UCASE(TRIM(C.FULL_NAME_ND)) = 'JAN JUE';

Can anybody please help me understand why this may be happening?
