Hello there,

I have a table called "products" which has a field named "item" with
following data stored:

"item"
PR1000
PR2000
PR3000
PRZE10
Lze100
Beta 
Teta

Does PostgreSQL support the SQL operator "LIKE" . I have unsuccessfully
trying the following SQL query:

(SELECT * FROM products WHERE item LIKE '*PR*')

I would like to select all the rows where the field "item" has the
substring "PR" inside it.

Thanks in advance for any pointers/help'

JP
