Try changing the *'s to % which is the mysql wildcard character and your sql
to this:
SELECT user FROM tblAliases
WHERE
(alias = '${quote_mysql:$local_part}' OR '${quote_mysql:$local_part}' like
alias)
AND
domain='${quote_mysql:$domain}'
the order of the parts in like is important as the pattern has to be the
second part.
Plus some random sql as an example ;-)

Mark.
mysql> select * from thing;
+---+---+
| a | b |
+---+---+
| 1 | % |
| 2 | % |
| 2 | f |

3 rows in set (0.01 sec)
mysql> select * from thing where b='%';
+---+---+
| a | b |
+---+---+
| 1 | % |
| 2 | % |

2 rows in set (0.01 sec)
mysql> select * from thing where b like '%';
+---+---+
| a | b |
+---+---+
| 1 | % |
| 2 | % |
| 2 | f |
+---+---+
3 rows in set (0.01 sec)
mysql> select * from thing where a like b and a=2;
+---+---+
| a | b |
+---+---+
| 2 | % |
+---+---+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from thing where (b='foo' or 'foo' like b) AND a=2 ;
+---+---+
| a | b |
+---+---+
| 2 | % |

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Hello List.
For the past few days I've been trying to get MySQL based aliases to work.
My idea was that, since I'll be hosting multiple domains for customers, I'd
create a MySQL database and do lookups via that. I created a database that
looks roughly like this:
+-------+------------+--------+------+
| alias | domain | user | uid |
+-------+------------+--------+------+
| * | cipri.com | cipri | 2000 |
| * | cerala.com | cerala | 2001 |
+-------+------------+--------+------+
And I created this Director:
mysql_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
transport = local_delivery
no_more
search_type = mysql
query = "SELECT tblAliases.user FROM tblAliases WHERE \
( \
(tblAliases.alias='$local_part' && tblAliases.domain='$domain' ) \
OR \
(tblAliases.alias='*' && tblAliases.domain='$domain' ) \
) \
LIMIT 1"
When I run exim -d9 -bt cipri@???, and run the SQL statement manually
I get back a single value of `cipri`, which is where it should be delivered
to. However, when I try a random address this happens:
# exim -bt foobar@???
foobar@???
deliver to foobar in domain cipri.com
director = mysql_aliases, transport = local_delivery
