using ILIKE xyz where xyz is a function parameter

Hi,

I'm stuck here.

I have a function that I would like to pass a text string and have the
function perform ILIKE on that passed string.

create or replace function foo( sLastName text )
AS

Select * from Person where LastName ILIKE sLastName;
....
What is the syntax for using ILIKE '%sLastName%' ??

Thanks for any tips,

Frank

Everything looks correctly ... by hand translation from UTF8 2 latin2 and back is correct. But When i make any LIKE or ILIKE comparsion it sometimes fails. It's realy weird because for example 'Petr<in' IS NOT LIKE 'Petr<%', but 'Petr<in' IS LIKE 'Petr<i%' ;-) Query is on 100% encoded...

Does anyone know how to use VBA to relink tables between two MS Access databases? We have two databases, one with VBA code and the other with data tables. The tables are referenced by linked tables in the database where the code resides. If we move the database with the data tables to a new directory, the links are no longer valid. I tried to update the links by changing the Connect property and refreshing: Set td = db.TableDefs(0)...

I am pretty sure the answer is no, but ... is there any way to get 'ilike' to use an index? It seems like something that a lot of people would want to do. Otherwise, should I just create redundant case-mapped columns and use 'like'? Thanks, Kevin Murphy ---------------------------(end of broadcast)---------------------------

Dear All, The problem of choosing pointer or reference is always confusing me. Would you please give me some suggestion on it. I appreciate your kind help.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
