Hi,
We have a table with a char column: col1 char(15). I need to do the following:
update A set col1 = ? where col1 matches "something*". The problem is that the
length of "something" is variable and can be anywhere from 2 to 15 characters.
It works fine if "something" is 14 or less characters with * padded at the end.
But, if "col1 is 15 characters long and if I pad it with a *, I am getting an
error. I really need to pad it with a * because the length of col1 may change
in the future and I cannot recode this application.
Thanks in advance.
Keith
