Seu the following mapping @Entity public class User { private Integer id; @Id; private Integer getId() { return this.id; } } Notice id is an Integer. Now i need this HQL query by using like operator Query query = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery("from User u where u.id like :userId"); ATT: IT IS like operator NOT = (equals operator) Then i use List<User> userList = query.setParameter("userId", userId + "%").list(); But does not work because Hibernate complains IllegalArgumentException occured calling getter of User.id Even when i use query.setString("userId", userId + "%"); It

I have a select query where I am trying to search strings for multiple patterns LIKE ('%this%' or '%that%' ) and something=else Returns zero results However LIKE '%this%' and something=else returns results and LIKE '%that%' and something=else returns result Is it possible to get all my results into one query? If a string matches both, how will it handle that? It would be nice if you could, but you can't use that syntax in SQL. Try this: (column1 LIKE '%this%' OR column1 LIKE '%that%') AND something = else Note the use of brackets! You need them around the OR expression. Without brackets, it

I have a list of street names and I want to select all that start with "Al". In my MySQL I would do something like SELECT * FROM streets WHERE "street_name" LIKE "Al%" How about MongoDB using PHP? Use a regular expression: db.streets.find( { street_name : /^Al/i } ); or: db.streets.find( { street_name : { $regex : '^Al', $options: 'i' } } ); http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Advanced+Queries#AdvancedQueries-RegularExpressions Turning this into PHP: $regex = new MongoRegex("/^Al/i"); $collection->find(array('street_name' => $regex)); See: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/SQL+to+Mongo

In t-sql, is there a way to do pattern matching in a like statement such that you can search for 1 or more characters in a given set? To be specific, I'm trying to come up with a LIKE statement that will return strings that begin with 1 or more letters and end in 1 or more numbers. So these strings should match: abcd1234 a1 abcdef2 ab123456 And these strings should not match: abcd 1234 abcd1234abcd 1abcd1 I know you can use the % wildcard to match a string of 0 or more characters, and you can use brackets[] to match a single character in a given set. But is there any way to combine those so

I'm trying to make a simple search bar that searches through my database for certain words. It is possible to use the LIKE attribute without using WHERE? I want it to search all columns for the keywords, not just one. Currently I have this: mysql_query("SELECT * FROM shoutbox WHERE name LIKE '%$search%' ") Which obviously only searches for names with the search input. I tried both of these: mysql_query("SELECT * FROM shoutbox LIKE '%$search%' ") mysql_query("SELECT * FROM shoutbox WHERE * LIKE '%$search%' ") and neither worked. Is this something that is possible or is there another way to go
