title: Postgres Doesn't Return Results for a Value in the Table
body: <p>I have the following problem where a value returned from a table doesn't return anything when queried with that value:</p>
  
  <pre><code>select * from my_table limit 2;
    id  |         zone         |     geo     
  --------+----------------------+---------------
   9yjyyf |  America/Chicago     |  051059528002
   9yrw3j |  America/Chicago     |  050219503002
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then, when I do a select count or a select on the table I get an empty set as the result:</p>
  
  <pre><code>select count(*) from my_table where geo = '051059528002';
  
   count 
  -------
       0
  (1 row)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the table definition:</p>
  
  <pre><code> \d my_table 
        Table "public.my_table"
   Column |          Type          | Modifiers 
  --------+------------------------+-----------
   id   | character varying(12)  | 
   zone   | character varying(100) | 
   geo  | character varying(32)  | 
  Indexes:
      "geo_idx" btree (geoid)
      "id_idx" btree (tile)
  </code></pre>
