 Hi,
 
 Is there an easy way to describe a 'like' statement in the iBatis xml file.
 for example I have:
 
 select id='dd' parameter=string
 select * from bush where bush_name like #value#
 /select
 
 Using Oracle I have to make the value look like this:
 
 String value = hello%
 
 Can't I do this in the map something like:
 
 
 select id='dd' parameter=string
 select * from bush where bush_name like #value#%
 /select
 
 
 At present this won't work.
 
 cheers,
 Steve.

Build your value before sending it to the select statement in your xml file.

I set my values in my action by using this: itemQuery.setDescription('%' + 
request.getParameter(description).toUpperCase() + '%')


I, then, pass the parameter itemQuery to my manager and DAO layers.

Hope this helps.

Re: Using a like statement

[Brian Bruns]

FAQ misses my favorite approach which is:

select * from table1 where column like #parm# || '%'

It gives all the advantages of using #parm# over $parm$ and you don't
need special processing in the java code to add the '%' .  The
downside is that || is not universal for string concatenation, so
porting maps from one db to another might be a little harder.
