[SQL] where col1 not ilike ('str1%', 'str2%'... 'strN%') support?

2011-08-30 Thread Emi Lu 

Good morning,

Does psql provide something like the following query command?

select * from tablename
where col1 not ilike ('str1%', 'str2%'... 'strN%')

Thanks a lot!
Emi

If you remember the operator name equivalent to ILIKE (~~*)
you can do

select * from tablename
where not (col1 ~~* any(array['str1%', 'str2%'... 'strN%']));

Thank you Tom!

If next version could have "not ilike ('', '')" added into window 
functions, that's will be great!

Why?  And what's this got to do with window functions?

Hi Tom,


select * from tablename
where not (col1 ~~* any(array['str1%', 'str2%'... 'strN%']));



If next version could have "not ilike ('', '')" added into window
functions, that's will be great!


Why?  And what's this got to do with window functions?


First, where not (col1 ~~* any(array['str1%', 'str2%'... 'strN%'])) will 
work for me.


But I feel " ilike ('str1', ... 'strN')" is more intuitive, isn't it?

I have a feeling that windows functions deal with all fancy functions. I 
would consider ilike ('str'...) as a non-standard SQL command?
