Wildcards where? You can use * to mean all the fields in a table in a
SELECT statement, but if you are using LIKE in a WHERE clause, the
wildcards are % to mean any group of characters and _ to mean any single
character.

Although, of course, you can use POSIXlish regexps with the ~* and ~
operators.
