Re: SELECT * FROM contralb WHERE pqmad LIKE '%%%'

The '%' is a wildcard (any number of characters) for the LIKE predicate. There is a way to make it use other wildcards - check the SQL Reference at InfoCenter - I forget.

I've got a situation with a 'mailing address' field and the % sign is what I'm looking for. However, this statement doesn't seem to work:

SELECT * FROM contralb WHERE pqmad LIKE '%%%'

What am I doing wrong here? I've tried wrapping it with " and ''%''.
