First thought: How can values like 'AA' be found with LIKE '_' ?
Zero rows. Click. Zero points.
Next time I will wait for the caffeine to do its work. I learned something, hope I remember it when I need it.

I was surprised too. I watched it after one of my coworkers came with a question: "How it is possible, this query returned this data?" His pattern was little bit more complicated, something like '__[_]_[_][[]%'.
And the best point: I could write a question with "It depends" option

I almost picked "It Depends" because, but I thought no, it couldn't be possible with a standard VARCHAR. Learned another thing today, at the cost of a point.

A beautiful question, which may have made some of the backwoodsmen notice that there are collations other than the one which fits US ASCII perfectly and fits nothing else. But I'm not holding my breath while waiting for the average US (or should that be "U/S"?) DBA or DB designer to notice our weird "foreign" collation stuff.

Great question, thanks!
I lost a point here, but it was well worth it as I hadn't even considered collation when I answered.
