Hi Ted,
In FrontBase CaseInsensitiveLike stopped working for us a few years
ago. Here is what we do:
1. set the CASE_INSENSITIVE collation at the field level in the database
2. use * in the qualifier argument (which must be translated to '%' by
the adapter)
<snip>
args = new NSArray(new Object[] { "*"+aPartialLasName+"*" ,
isComplete});
q = EOQualifier.qualifierWithQualifierAndForma("lastName like %@ AND
isComplete = %@", args);
</snip>
The code snippet above would act like a contains, if you placed the
wildcard on one side or the other, you would have a beginswith/
endswith equivalent.
Keep in mind, this is with FrontBase. What DB are you using?

Thanks, but I seem to have a problem with the variable
in the expression:
EOQualifier newQual =
EOQualifier.qualifierWithQualifierFormat("(client
caseInsensitiveLike %@) AND (isComplete = 0)", arg1);
if I put the trailing '%' as a wildcard the
expressions fails with:
Reason: Lexical error at line 1, column 32.
Encountered: ")" (41), after : "%"
my sql example... we answered the case insensitivity
but not the wildcard....
select * from adlist where lower(client) like
lower('s%')
maybe I need to escape the trailing %....

Theodore,
Try the "caseInsensitiveLike" selector instead of
the "like" selector.

I don't get this.. I am following the example in
the
Marker book (pg 230).
EOQualifier newQual =
EOQualifier.qualifierWithQualifierFormat("(client

%@) AND (isComplete = 0)", arg1);
EOFetchSpecification fs = new EOFetchSpecification
("AsAdSched", newQual, null);
This is working fine... I get the resultant data I
expect... I am trying to figure out the 'like' and
escape for pattern matching...
what i want in the SQL is:
select * from adlist where lower(client) like
lower('s%')
it will not matter whether you type upper nor
lower
case....
