'%a' is anything that ends with 'a'. But 'jeeva' when stored in a char(20) field doesn't end with an 'a'. It is stored as 'jeeva' followed by
spaces.
Perhaps if you were to try '%a%' it would work - i.e 'a' anywhere in between.
If the field where to be a varchar field, then only 'jeeva' would be stored , in which case '%a' would work.
