I am just trying to think what the wildcard character is for MySQL or SQL I think it's %

So for a like query it would be
"select * from User_table where Username LIKE string & %

or something like that :)

Been a while since I did any sql stuff

Same here as regards to using my_sql BUT I'm sure it was the above BUT "wryd%" which will look for things wyrdXXX

Obviously if you want XXwyrdXXX you'd do "%wyrd%"

Not sure though, I get mixed up between oracle and my_sql a lot. (even though it's "_wyrd_" in oracle I'm sure). :s
