Execute a %LIKE% query in Qt












1














I want to execute a parameterized in qt using value binding.



This is the code:



QString name = "Foo";
query->prepare("SELECT Name, Surname FROM employee WHERE Surname LIKE %:surname%");
query->bindValue(":surname", name);


The problem is with the % character: it generates an error while executing the query, however i don't known how to use it with qt.

          You do not have to use "%" in the prepare but concatenate the QString, on the other hand it is not necessary so far I have not needed to use a QSqlQuery pointer so I recommend not using it since it has a copy constructor.



          QSqlQuery query;
          QString name = "Foo";
          query.prepare("SELECT Name, Surname FROM employee WHERE Surname LIKE :surname");
          query.bindValue(":surname", QString("%%1%").arg(name));
          query.exec();
          while(query.next())
          qDebug()<< query.value(0) << query.value(1);
