Local SQL

Question:
In Delphi 1 I am trying to emulate the “..” function for wild card search in Paradox in Local SQL. I am aware of ‘like’ but it is not specific enough and tends to give something with everything in!Many thanks Simon

Answer:
LIKE syntax is as follows:

WHERE ( LIKE "PartVal%")

That’s the equivalent of the “..” in Paradox.
