(How) can I use “LIKE” in SQL queries with MyBatis safely and DB-agnostic?

Question

In MyBatis, you mark the places where parameters should be inserted into your SQL like so:

SELECT * FROM Person WHERE id = #{id}

Answer 1

The bind feature is available with mybatis version 3.2 or greater. For versions below that:- The following worked for me, in Mysql. I have used the concat function.

        select name,email from users where upper(name) like concat("%",concat(upper(#{searchQuery}),"%")) or upper(email) like concat("%",concat(upper(#{searchQuery}),"%")) and upper(email) != upper(#{email}) ;
