title: MySQL Wildcard for "=" - is there one
body: <p>So,</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM table WHERE col LIKE '%'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>will return everything. Is there a wildcard for the query </p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM table WHERE col = '*'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Clearly <code>*</code> doesn't work, I just put it there to indicate where I'd like a wildcard. The column I'm selecting from contains an integer between 1 and 12, and I want to be able to select either all records with a particular number, or all records with a wildcard.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
