Thats true, but the actuall query looked more like this SELECT * FROM testdb WHERE col1 LIKE '$var%'
and if I left the $var empty my plan was to get all columns. But I use the "OR col1 IS NULL" trick which solved my problem. Thanks anyway /Jonas If you want all values why not just do SELECT * FROM testdb ... The `%` will not match NULL values. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< On 3/3/04, 9:41:22 AM, "Jonas Lindén" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote regarding LIKE % not including NULL values?: > Hello list > SELECT * FROM testdb WHERE col1 LIKE '%' > The above SELECT statement doesnt return columns with NULL values. > Should it? ;).
