for convenience when working with other windows' programs along with sqlyog it would be nice if sqlyog allowed for use of windows' wildcards along with standard sql wildcards.
Windows' wildcards:
* placeholder for any number of characters
? placeholder for exactly one character
Standard SQL wildcards:
% placeholder for any number of characters
_ placeholder for exactly one character
it's implemented like that in OpenOffice. I know it involves some parsing, and might slow things down a bit, so it could be a setting that could be turned on/off. That would also solve problems if it can be imagined to conflict for other users/situations.
In case the database contains strings variables with characteres * ? % and _ a complete “wildcard substitution feature” could be imagined.
Other users – what do you think ?
