Hi there, I'm currently using 6.3.

When I issue the command SELECT * FROM client_database WHERE client ~~
'%%' it displays nobody, when i use 6.1 it works fine, as %% or %%%%
defaults to every entry? Does anyone know what is going on?

PS: Please help, the companies client database is quite important :-).

Thanks

Actually, % is all that is needed.  %% is actually a single %, I think.
I had it wrong in earlier version, but it was fixed in 6.something.
