Problem with special german characters

Hi,

I've got the following problem if I try to select records from my db:

 

I've got an table (named "texte") with an column named "title".

One of the records has in this column the string "Förderung".

 

If I try

 

SELECT title FROM texte  WHERE (UPPER(title) = 'FÖRDERUNG')

 

I get no records return!

 

 

If I try

 

SELECT title FROM texte  WHERE (title = 'Förderung')

 

I get the right record return.

 

 

Is that an bug or is there an db-parameter that I have to change, so that I can work with special german characters?

 

 

Thanks for your help

 

Carsten
