The SQL code that is produced from an implicit pass-through query might cause incorrect results. These incorrect results occur with Japanese queries that contain certain Japanese characters, such as "40"x "5B"x in their hexadecimal code. When these characters are used in combination with the COUNT function or the CONTAINS operator, incorrect results occur.
