Looks like the output of the select statement is not just 0, but something like 0.

If the status code in the database does not contain blanks, you just could remove the quotes from the case statement
Code:
case $STATUS in

which would effectively strip leading and trailing blanks from the status code.

Otherwise change the patterns within the case statement to include optional blanks.
Code:
case "$STATUS" in
       *( )0*( )) break ;;
       ...
