38175425 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 The first picture is from a tutorial video, the second picture is from my notepad. You can see the that the asterisk in the first picture is bigger than the one in the second picture, are they different?

ginerjm Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) I see that all of the font characters are bigger in the second. looks like just a difference in the character set.

ginerjm Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Well - actually it is not recommended to use the asterisk in a query.
