Comment:
It was decided that we were not going to add `like` and `ilike` lookups in
#17473.
Now that [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/custom-lookups/
custom lookups are available] you can define your own `LIKE`
implementation as follow:
{{{#!python
from django.db.models import CharField, Lookup, TextField
class LikeLookup(Lookup):
lookup_name = 'like'
def as_sql(self, compiler, connection):
lhs, lhs_params = self.process_lhs(compiler, connection)
rhs, rhs_params = self.process_rhs(compiler, connection)
params = lhs_params + rhs_params
return '%s LIKE %s' % (lhs, rhs), params
CharField.register_lookup(LikeLookup)
TextField.register_lookup(LikeLookup)
}}}
And use like that
{{{#!python
Pronunciation.objects.filter(code__like='%% - %%__1 - S T __0 D')
}}}
