RE: sql DELETE FROM with wildcard "%"

I don't know if this works any faster, but I believe you can use the SQL
RTRIM function instead of TRIM for this particular example.

EXCELLENT!

That's a really nice technique.  No extra fields.  I see it could also
be used to compare against another database field, so that makes it even
more flexible.

Thanks, Birgitta!

Hi Joe,

The following example with Trim and Concats also works:
C                   Eval      HstNameFix = 'Media'

C/Exec SQL
C+ Delete from MyTable
C+            Where Name like '%' concat Trim(:HstNameFix) concat '%'
C/END-EXEC
