I am using the Microsoft Internet Database Connector to hook some Java forms to an Oracle database. I'm running into a problem with a statement similar to the following:
select ... where lease_no like '%form_lease_no%'
What happens is that if the user does not enter a search value for the form_lease_no variable, the Internet Database Connector fills it in with a wildcard (%). The problem is that the wildcard will not match a null field (I think) and so records with null lease_no fields do not match. Is there a way around this in SQL or will I have to resort to generating the SQL from within Java?
