Friends,

I need to sort out names with ignorecase with wild card matching...something like below query

select * from Employee where employeeName not in('%Gerald%', '%Paproci%', '%Senthil%') or employeeName is null;

any help on this?

are you using case sensitive collation? by default,most collations are case insensitive so the above should work. whats the problem you're facing?

for wildcard searches you need like not in


select * from Employee 
where (employeeName not like '%Gerald%'
and employeeName not like '%Paproci%'
and employeeName not like  '%Senthil%') 
or employeeName is null;
