Named Query with like in where clause

Question

Is it possible to have a like in a where clause in a named query? I am trying to do the following but am getting exceptions

@NamedQuery(name = \"Place.getPla         


        

Answer 1

If you are using positional parameters, you can use this way

@Query("select p from ABC p where p.name like CONCAT('%',?1,'%') ")

Answer 2

You can't have the % in the NamedQuery, but you can have it in the value you assign the parameter.

As in:

String city = "needle";
query.setParamter("city", "%" + city + "%");

Answer 3

You can also use CONCAT function

@NamedQuery(name = "Place.getPlaceForCityAndCountryName",
     query = "SELECT p FROM Place p WHERE " +
        "lower(p.city) like CONCAT(:city,'%')");

Answer 4

@Query("select c from Curso c where c.descripcion like CONCAT(:descripcion,'%')")

List<Curso> findByDescripcionIgnoreCase(@Param("descripcion") String descripcion);
