RE: SQL Question

"If" I understand your question, would a where portion look similar to the
follow:
where idesc like '%GOLD%'

In an interactive sql to select items that contain gold in
the item description - that works.

Subject: SQL Question


A co-worker has just asked what to use as a variable replacement character
in a select statement.  I can't find anything in any manual. Is there such a
thing ?

For example in dos you could type DEL *.* and it would delete everything.
What do you use in SQL to imitate the * in the previous dos statement ?

Thanks,
