Question

I tried to write a query with Like command to search for special Name , but i need to get the value from User and i need to read the value but my sql code has problem with "LIKE" section , how can i fix it ?

sql = '''SELECT Name FROM newtest WHERE Name LIKE = %s'''
val = (n)
myobj = mycurs.execute(sql , val)

what's the problem ?

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 '= %s' at line 1

this is the error

Answer 1

Remove the "=" sign. The LIKE command doesn't use that - see https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_ref_like.asp for an example.

Answer 2

如果您需要搜索非精确匹配项（即名称在列内的任何位置），您可以将查询更改为：

SELECT Name FROM newtest WHERE Name LIKE concat('%', %s, '%')
