in thread Map file-glob-style patterns to SQL "LIKE" expressions, with escaping

It maps * to % and ? to _, so I can write "??a*", and get any three-or-more character value where the 3rd character is "a". It's mapping to SQL. I'm not putting anything in there that isn't understood in standard SQL92.
