Comments on: SP Dynamic SQL with LIKE Operator http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/sp-dynamic-sql-with-like-operater/ Wed, 22 May 2013 02:14:48 +0000 hourly 1 By: eabouzeid http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/sp-dynamic-sql-with-like-operater/#comment-77958 eabouzeid Tue, 08 Jun 2010 19:26:52 +0000 #comment-77958 Thank you for your help. I tried what you wrote and it worked just fine. Another solution I found that worked was this modification:

CREATE PROCEDURE SPFIND
@VARIABLE1 VARCHAR(20)
SELECT *
FROM TABLE1
WHERE FIELD1 LIKE LIKE ‘%’ + @VARIABLE1+ ‘%’

Then to execute I would just pass the variable like this:
EXEC VARIABLENAME

The only way I’m able to get results is if I execute the stored procedure as shown below:

EXEC spFIND @variable1=’%variablename’

I think it should work by simply saying EXEC spFIND @variable1=’variablename’

OR
does it just seem to run forever?
