That works perfectly Dylan.  Thanks.

Although in some off-list emails I was told that it would probably not
work for Oracle, so lucky for me I use SQL Server.

Thanks again,

Shawn Pierson

        That should work. If you want to use a wildcard as a literal
then you put [] around it.

                **

                This is probably a simple, obvious thing, but I don't
remember a good way around this.

                I'm setting up a feed for Remedy so I can pull over
logins.  The problem is that I need to exclude service and admin
accounts from the feed since those logins will never be used in Remedy.
The problem is that they are prefixed with things like svc_, s_, etc.
The problem is that underscores are wildcards representing one
character.  So, if I wanted to check for a "s_shawnpierson" account I
would first think to do a search for:

                'Login Name' LIKE "s_%"

                The problem is that since both the underscore and the
percent signs are wildcards, I am essentially searching for "s%", which
returns all logins that start with "s".  Any suggestions on how I can
get around this?

                Thanks,

                Shawn Pierson
