Hi All -

My users want to have the ability to search on a
Number attribute, but use String qualifiers such as
Contains ('*value*'), Begins With ('value*'), Ends
With ('*value').

I have a table named part that contains a primaryKey
named part_id (Number and exposed) and a String called
descriptor.

Is there a way to create an EOQualifier that
replicates the SQL in the example below?

Example: Select all parts with a part_id that begins
with 3.
select * from part where to_char(part_id) like '3%';

Maybe...

Add a new attribute called partIDAsString
Set the column to part_id
Set the datatype as string
Mark it as read only
Set the read format to to_char(%P)

Then make a qualifier on partIDAsString.
