The wildcard asterisk (*) is the SQL-92 standard for indicating "any sequence of characters."
Answer: B
Correct answer: False
The SQL-92 wildcard for "any sequence of characters" is the percent sign %, used with LIKE, and the underscore _ matches exactly one character.
The asterisk does appear in SQL, but in the SELECT list, where SELECT * means all columns - a different construct entirely. It serves as a wildcard character in Microsoft Access, which departs from the standard, and a pattern written for Access silently returns nothing elsewhere because * is then matched literally.
