找不到MYSQL记录

Question

I have imported a CSV into MYSQL. It all worked fine and i can see the records fine through PHPMYADMIN and through the console. But when i search for a record that i know is there, it isnt finding it.

Query is basically -

SELECT * from `companies` where `name` = 'test'; <--- I corrected this because all the answers are talking about the query. The problem isnt with the query. Please read my update following. 

But once i manually edit that column and save, the same query finds it fine.

I have tried to TRIM the column but it isnt making any difference.

Please help. Thank you in advance.

UPDATE: The issue isn't with the query. The query works fine once I manually edit the record and save it. So i think it has to do with returns or non-ASCII characters in the record itself or a collation issue.

Answer 1

This will find word 'test' in your name column so extra spaces will not effect your result but this is wild searching so it will match also words like 'testing', 'this is test' etc so if you want exactly match with particular word like 'test' you can't use this but you can check result with this query. If you getting your result using this query it means there are extra spaces in your column value.

SELECT * from companies where name LIKE %test%;
