SQL query returns no result from Java although it returns a result in Access

When I run this query:

select character from tbl_Unknown where format(fw,'.###')='48.143' and code='0001'

it returns a result in the Access query interface but when I try to run it from Java it doesn't return a result.

My table (tbl_Unknown):

char_id: autonumber   value:1
fw: short text        value:'48.1425'   Hint:after format it become '48.143'.
code: short text      value:'0001' 
character: short text value: 'x'

My java code:

public static String getLostedCharacter(String font,String fw, String code) {
      Connection conn = ConnectDB.getConnection();
      String character = null;
       try {
        Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
        String query = "select character from tbl_"+font+" where format(fw,'.###')='"+fw+"' and code='" + code + "'";
        ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(query);
         while (rs.next()) {
            character = rs.getString(1);
            return character;
        }
        statement.close();
        rs.close();
    } catch (SQLException ex) {
        return "";
    }
    return "";   
}

Access SQL queries that are run from within the Access application itself can use a wide variety of VBA functions that may not be available (or may behave a bit differently) in Access SQL queries that are run from other applications.

As a workaround, I would suggest this:

String query = String.format(
        "select character from tbl_%s " +
        "where Trunc((Val(fw)*1000)+0.5)=? and code=?", 
        font);
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(query);
ps.setInt(1, (int)(1000 * Double.parseDouble(fw)));  // e.g. 48143
ps.setString(2, code);
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();

Edit re: comments

As explained by jamadei, the Format() function as implemented in UCanAccess versions <= 2.0.6.2 produces slightly different results than the Access/VBA implementation for this particular case. Specifically Format(48.1425,".###) returns 48.143 in an Access query but it returns 48.142 in a UCanAccess query. This may be corrected in a future release of UCanAccess. This has been corrected in UCanAccess 2.0.6.3.

Both the mentioned issues(int function and rounding mode "half up" in the format function) have been fixed in the 2.0.6.3.
