A "contains" comparator for Strings in Visual SQL

XMLWordPrintable

      User Problem

      Users want to be able to effectively use a LIKE '%string%' comparator with wildcards in their WHERE clauses. Currently, manually adding the %% wildcards to the LIKE comparator only works when using a hardcoded string. This is not possible when referencing text from a {text_input} control. 

      Suggested Solutions

      Add a "contains" operator to the pattern match list that effectively adds a LIKE '%string%' comparator. This will allow seamlessly referencing text_input controls in visual SQL

      Current Workarounds

      Currently, in order to access that functionality, you either need to 
      1)explicitly add wildcards in your text input within a text input control.
      2)access the raw input  and concatenate the wild cards in SQL mode.
