A team developer has chosen the lazy way of not checking if a variable
exists on his PHP page and has code which produces the following SQL
SELECT * FROM mytable where myfield ilike '%%'
I have noticed that this statement does not return null or empty myfield
records.
Is this the way (SQL) to do this??
Is there a better syntax to the SQL??
Is the better way to create the statement in PHP is to check if the passed
value <> '' ??
Or is this issue being fixed in the new V8 version of postgreSQL.
