Hi all,
I have a problem with the like statement in SQL Server, and the parameters.
I would like to do a query like this :
select * from Table1 where Field1 like 'some%' + :p_other + '%'
but when I set the parameter and try to open the query, it returns no result
set, even if the table contains the data I am searching.
I know I can concatenate the parameter in the string at runtime, but if the
user inserts a ' character I am lost, the query will error.

Anyone got a thing like this work?

TIA
Ciao
