Description

feb683c4c2c5ecfb61e4cb490c3e357450c0c0e8 revealed an unrelated issue on Oracle. SUBSTR(NULL, x, y) returns NULL on Oracle which can be concatenate with other strings, hence if we use it with pattern lookups then all rows match an query, e.g.

  • __startswith=Substr(sth, x, y) -> LIKE SUBSTR(sth, x, y) || '%' -> LIKE '%',
  • __endswith=Substr(sth, x, y) -> LIKE '%' || SUBSTR(sth, x, y) -> LIKE '%',
  • __contains=Substr(sth, x, y) -> LIKE '%' || SUBSTR(sth, x, y) || '%' -> LIKE '%%',

which is unexpected.
