I try to create a query like such:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name LIKE %?%
The error:
Error: ER_PARSE_ERROR: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '%'word'%' at line 1
How to avoid the two apostrophes?
This works:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name LIKE ?
but then I would need an exact match.
I suspect that you want:
WHERE column_name LIKE CONCAT('%', ?, '%')
However, I would suggest that you append the wildcards in the app and simply use:
WHERE column_name LIKE ?
