If last_name below is NULL, will it skip the WHERE comparison on that column to increase performance?
AND (last_name IS NULL OR sp.last_name LIKE CONCAT('%',IFNULL(last_name, ''),'%'))
MySQL is free to perform the comparisons in either order.
Most likely it will do the
NULLcheck first because it is faster to compute, but this is not guaranteed.
