Hi. I would like to compare two columns a and b and find all cases where a is a part of b, like this select * from mytable where a ilike b; but that will not give me a row in the case when a = 'foo' and b='FOOTBALL' and I want that to be a match. So how do I rewrite my expression? I can't find any way to add % to make it match the way I want.
It seems that the order is important. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/functions-matching.html#FUNCTIONS-LIKE select 'foo%' ilike 'FOOTBALL'; ---------- f but select 'FOOTBALL' ilike 'foo%'; ---------- t Edoardo
