Hi Andy, sorry for the simple answer, I will now give some more solutions and in your case with a value variable:
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE column_name LIKE "%$username$%" OR ORACLE: SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE column_name LIKE '%' || #username# || '%' Sybase/SQL Server: SELECT * from tbl_name WHERE column_name LIKE '%' + #username# + '%' I don't know which database you are using, but I think one solution of the solutions listed above will work!
