Dear Monks,

I changed my script to handle UTF characters (I just used ANSI) and to query a sqlite database. Now the following query does not properly work anymore: 

$all = $dbh->selectall_arrayref("SELECT ID,col_1, col_2 FROM table WHE
+RE LOWER(col_1) LIKE '$searching_string%'");

[download]

By characters in $searching_string such as äüö, the query does not match anymore.

If I remove LOWER, the query matches (lower matches lower, upper case matches upper case), but it does not match äÄ üÜ öÖ

What I am doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Thanks Cla

Update: I just noted that the query works perfectly (lower upper case) even without LOWER. This is true for Western europe characters (!!). The problem is still there for äÄ üÜ öÖ etc.
