Re: using output of a subselect in LIKE/ILIKE

thanks Jeff it worked !

after adding a '%' || after LIKE though :-)

WORKING SQL:

SELECT branch from branches where outstation ilike '%' || (SELECT city
from users join personal_account_details using(userid) where
email='ratans(at)cal(dot)vsnl(dot)com') || '%';
