[odb-users] [Search of feature] LIKE in the ODB query language

[florian grignon]

Hi Boris,

Thank you for your answer. I'm gonna try to implement quickly the like.

I would be very glad to have your patch when you're done with it.

I did see that the like is in the TODO list, but I didn't see that it's
going to be in the 2.2 ?

Keep me in touch about the patch.
