Example
In the "Sales Item Detail" table (pub.demo.retail.item), you can find only
those rows whose SKUs end with either "6" or
"9". To do this, create a computed
column and apply the endswith_ci(X;L) function to
the sku column, where L is the
list containing the strings '6' and
'9'.
<base table="pub.demo.retail.item"/> <willbe name="example" value="endswith_ci(sku;'6' '9')"/>
For those values in the sku column that end with
"6" or "9", the result is
1.
Otherwise, the result is 0.
You could then use the <sel> operation to select only those rows where the
example column equals 1.
<sel value="(example=1)"/>
The results are those rows where the value in the sku column is
366, 969, or
A96.
Additional Information
endswith_ci(X;L) is identical to
endswith(X;L) except that it performs
case-insensitive (in the English alphabet) comparisons.
