SQL Query on an XMLObject CaseSensitive Resultset

Hi there,
I make aSQLqueryonan object withdbtype= query
<cfqueryname="qry_catalog"dbtype="query">
SELECT * FROMcatalogquery
WHEREcountryLIKE '# art #'
</ cfquery>

Whatalsogoes without problems, interestingly,the querytakesonlyresultswhenthe Upper /lower case is correct.
e.g.Search for "UK"brings13 recordsfrom the XMLobject "uk" no.

I have neverreadthatit iscase-sensitive.

I'm open toallsuggestions.

Thank yougreetingJochen
