left outer join issue?

Dev

Hello all,

I need to do a left out join where a.field1 ilike %b.field2%

But I can not figure out the exact syntax to using the ilike in the join?

Use the ON clause syntax.


Here is what it actually looks like
LEFT OUTER JOIN table4 AS d ON (a.field1 ilike "%d.field2% ") )

a is setup for table1 and it is reference in a few other left outer joins.

Those "other" outer joins work fine with out this new part

Maybe this isn't really an left join syntax question as much as
an expression syntax question. Maybe you want:
LEFT OUTER JOIN table4 AS d ON (a.field1 ilike ('%' || d.field2|| '%') )

Your field reference is incorrect. Use concatenation:

ON (a.field1 ilike '%'||d.field2|| '%') )

Remember in Postgres, double quotes are only used to delimit identifiers.

Use
LEFT OUTER JOIN table4 AS d ON (a.field1 ILIKE '%' || d.field2 || '%')
