Subject LIKE statement and NULL field
Author Tanz Anthrox
Hi,

LIKE condition returns NOT NULL fields.

A Simplified Ex:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM MUHASEBE

Returns 145.000


SELECT COUNT(*) FROM MUHASEBE
WHERE MUH_ACIKLAMA LIKE '%'

Returns 138.002

Because some MUH_ACIKLAMA has NULL fields.

QUESTION :

What can I use for this situation? I need that Null fields also.

EXACT SQL:

SELECT
M.MUH_KAYITNO,
M.MUH_TARIH,
M.MUH_MAKBUZNO,
M.MUH_ACIKLAMA,
H.HAREKETKODU_TIPI

FROM MUHASEBE M
JOIN HAREKETKODLARI H
ON M.MUH_HAREKETKODU = H.HAREKETKODU
WHERE
(MUH_KAYITNO LIKE :KAYITNO)
AND
(MUH_TARIH LIKE :TARIH)
AND
(MUH_MAKBUZNO LIKE :EVRAKNO)
AND
(MUH_ACIKLAMA LIKE :ACIKLAMA)
ORDER BY MUH_KAYITNO

All the parameters are % at the beginning and this SQL. Some of them are changing by user. And result must include NULLs

Regards.
