Can anyone think of a real world use for a wildcard statement like this LIKE '%a%b%c%d%'
It's in the Ben Forta study guide and it came up in a drinking session that there wasn't a real use for this sort of thing. Seaching for strings in a particular order in a larger string would be one, but are there any other ways to do this, faster or slower. Any ideas? :O) Adrian Lynch ---------------------- United Kingdom http://www.thoughtbubble.co.uk/ Ph: +44 (0) 20 7387 8890 ---------------------- New Zealand http://www.thoughtbubble.co.nz/ Ph: +64 (0) 9 488 9131 The information in this email and in any attachments is confidential and intended solely for the attention and use of the named addressee(s) .
