The ISO-ANSI SQL 3 standard says that the predicate MC LIKE PC, where MC
and PC are both zero-length character value expressions, returns TRUE. 
So in your example, when cc evaluates to '', this predicate should
return TRUE, and InstantDB seems to have a bug.

However, if I understand correctly, there must be a character (or
wildcard) in PC to match characters in MC, otherwise the LIKE predicate
returns FALSE.  Therefore, a zero-length PC cannot match a
nonzero-length MC.
