MySQL LIKE语句错误＃1064

Question

in my query I'm using LIKE statement and this is the query:

SELECT * FROM ogloszenia WHERE oferta = "Oferta kupna" and LIKE = "cokolwiek" ORDER BY id DESC Limit 5 offset 0;

And I'm getting error like this:

Something is wrong in your syntax near 'LIKE = "cokolwiek" ORDER BY id DESC Limit 5 offset 0' in line 1

Can you tell me how to fix it or what is an issue of this problem?

Thank you anyway.

Answer 1

You should not have an equal sign after the LIKE operator and it should be related to a column

somecolumn LIKE 'cokolwiek'

For LIKE to make any difference over an equal sign add wildcards % and _ to the string.

IE:

somecolumn LIKE '%cokolwiek%'

(also changed to single quotes for good practise)

Answer 2

You need to use single quotes, not double quotes. You also shouldn't have an = near LIKE, and need to specify a column name near LIKE . This would look like:

SELECT * FROM ogloszenia WHERE oferta = 'Oferta kupna' AND columnname LIKE 'cokolwiek' ORDER BY id DESC Limit 5 offset 0;

Answer 3

Like is already operator, you don't need to use =

LIKE `cokolwiek`

To get advantage of LIKE you can use wildcard characters.
