Symptoms

  The query below returns one row.
select T$ITEM from <xxxxxx> where NLSSORT("T$ITEM",'nls_sort=''UCA0700_DUCET_S3_VN_BN_NY_EN_FN_HN_DN_MN''') =NLSSORT(' BCKH-B07544', 'nls_sort=''UCA0700_DUCET_S3_VN_BN_NY_EN_FN_HN_DN_MN''');

But this query returns no rows.
select T$ITEM from <xxxxxx> where NLSSORT("T$ITEM",'nls_sort=''UCA0700_DUCET_S3_VN_BN_NY_EN_FN_HN_DN_MN''') LIKE NLSSORT(' BCKH-B07544', 'nls_sort=''UCA0700_DUCET_S3_VN_BN_NY_EN_FN_HN_DN_MN''') || '%';
