select distinct col1 from table_name where col1 like 'ABC_____' and col2 > 0
order by col1;

returns 38 rows ......

select distinct col1 from table_name where col1 like 'ABC_____' and col2 > 0
order by col1 desc;

returns 0 rows just by putting in the descending clause....

anybody seen this happen before ....

new index has been added on the table, but nothing else is new.
