FMDB query isn't acting right with LIKE

Question

I am using FMDB, which is a wrapper for SQLite. http://github.com/ccgus/fmdb

Here is my query line:

FMResultSet *athlete = [db executeQuery:@\"SELECT         


        

Answer 1

The wildcard characters (%) have to be part of the substituted variable, not the query string:

FMResultSet *rs = [db executeQuery:@"SELECT * FROM athletes WHERE athlete_name LIKE ?",
                  [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%%%@%%", search_text]];
