Using LIKE % in Hibernate

Question

How do I use LIKE % in Hibernate. I want to use a SQL with LIKE % in my hbm.xml file. I have 2 queries which I am consolidating to 1.

Answer 1

Maybe the user_id is not a char/varchar? You have to convert the user_id with str() to character data first!

Example:

SELECT *
FROM abc.def_vw a
WHERE user_id = ?
AND str(user_id) LIKE '%' || ?

Answer 2

Use LIKE '%?%' and second parameter string to make the query. The field also should be a string type because like is used to compare strings.

Answer 3

3 things to notice:

• Is user_id string?
• like in HQL works fine. for example like '%something%'
• Your query doesn't make sense "where user_id =? and user_id like '%'" what are you trying to do ? Use only one of the conditions.
