Detailed Description

A wrapper for an SQL string combined with a text comparison mode.

An instance of the class is used as a parameter to RDbView::Prepare(), RDbRowSet::FindL() and RDbRowConstraint::Open().

The evaluation of SQL queries or constraints depends on how Text columns are compared so every SQL string is accompanied by a member of the TDbTextComparison enumeration to indicate how comparison is done.

If the SQL string contains a LIKE clause with * (asterisks) wildcard then the characters between them must be no longer than length 255. If only one * exists then the length is taken from the start and to the end of the clause. However, if the clause contains a ? (question mark) wildcard within it then the characters between must be no longer than length 253.
