[Zope] dtml-sqltest op=like optional?

[Charlie Reiman]

It has been a while since I tried this with sqltest, but have you tried the
'nb' flag as well?

<dtml-sqltest  name op=like type=string multiple optional nb>

My impression was optional and string didn't do what I wanted unless the nb
option was also set.
