Rails 4 LIKE query - ActiveRecord adds quotes

Question

I am trying to do a like query like so

def self.search(search, page = 1 )
  paginate :per_page => 5, :page =>          


        

Answer 1

If someone is using column names like "key" or "value", then you still see the same error that your mysql query syntax is bad. This should fix:

.where("`key` LIKE ?", "%#{key}%")
