DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC63207 Status: Closed

WRONG RESULTS WITH LIKE EXPRESSION USING '^' (CIRCUMFLEX
ACCENT)AND LANGUAGE AWARE COLLATION SEQUENCE

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
In a unicode database which was created with a "language aware 
collation" sequence, like "UCA500R1_LROOT_AN_CX_EX_FX_HX_NX_S2" 
we may see wrong results with pattern matching during a 
expression using LIKE and the character "^" (CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT). 
For example the following query retruns wrong result: 
 
db2 select case when '^' like '^' then 1 else 0 end from 
sysibm.sysdummy1 
 
1 
----------- 
          0 
 
This does not happen with the default collating sequence 
(IDENTITY).
