Hi Enam,
I might be wrong, but guess a like filter is meant to work over textual
content (aka, expressions that evaluate to Strings).
Don't you want to use a between filter for numeric values? between has a lot
more chances to finally be encoded as the proper sql where clause in the end.
Regards,
Gabriel
