We have an Progress OpenEdge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progress_4GL) develop team in the company I work for. I'm the only c# developer there and really like it. So now the manager asks me to learn programming in OpenEdge. He doesn't want me to become a good OpenEdge programmer but he wants the team members to understand both worlds....

This view in question combines about 100 separate tables, and is then queried against (we have limited rights to this database). One of the fields ...
I'm connected to an OpenEdge DataServer via ODBC (not our product, we are just accessing their database, I hardly have any information and certainly no help from the other side). Anyhow, I just need to execute a simple Select, add a couple of rows and I need the equivalent of an IsNull statement. Basically I'd like to execute SELECT I...

SELECT CASE WHEN code LIKE '%foo%' THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N' END as foo FROM bar However Progress does not support a LIKE operator.
