6.4 LIKE Condition
The LIKE condition specifies a test involving regular expression pattern matching. Whereas the equality operator = exactly matches one character value to another, the LIKE conditions match a portion of one character value to another by searching the first value for the regular expression pattern specified by the second. LIKE calculates strings using characters as defined by the input character set. like_condition::= arith_expr::= on page 5-6, const_string::= on page 7-12 In this syntax: ■ arith_expr is an arithmetic expression whose value is compared to const_ string . ■ const_string is a constant value regular expression to be compared against the arith_expr . If any of arith_expr or const_string is null, then the result is unknown. The const_string can contain any of the regular expression assertions and quantifiers that java.util.regex supports: that is, a regular expression that is specified in string form in a syntax similar to that used by Perl. Table 6–8 describes the LIKE conditions. Table 6–7 XOR Truth Table XOR TRUE FALSE UNKNOWN TRUE FALSE TRUE UNKNOWN FALSE TRUE FALSE UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN Conditions 6-7 For more information on Perl regular expressions, see http:perldoc.perl.orgperlre.html .6.4.1 Examples
This condition is true for all last_name values beginning with Ma: last_name LIKE Ma All of these last_name values make the condition true: Mallin, Markle, Marlow, Marvins, Marvis, Matos Case is significant, so last_name values beginning with MA, ma, and mA make the condition false. Consider this condition: last_name LIKE SMITH[A-Za-z] This condition is true for these last_name values: SMITHE, SMITHY, SMITHS This condition is false for SMITH because the [A-Z] must match exactly one character of the last_name value. Consider this condition: last_name LIKE SMITH[A-Z]+ This condition is false for SMITH but true for these last_name values because the [A-Z]+ must match 1 or more such characters at the end of the word. SMITHSTONIAN, SMITHY, SMITHS For more information, see http:java.sun.comj2se1.5.0docsapijavautilregexPattern. html .6.5 Range Conditions
A range condition tests for inclusion in a range. Table 6–8 LIKE ConditionsParts
