Question

Hi I am trying to run this query in SQL but it is not giving me the result :

SELECT        COUNT(*) AS Expr1
FROM            restaurantData
WHERE        (restaurantInfo LIKE '''%' + 'xyz' + '%''') OR
                         (restaurantName LIKE '''%' + 'xyz' + '%''') OR
                         (restaurantDescription LIKE '''%' + 'xyz' + '%''')

I have restaurantName column with value xyz Restaurant

Here is some sample data

Answer 1

Why the extra single-quotes?

   SELECT
            COUNT(*) AS Expr1 
    FROM  restaurantData 
    WHERE        (restaurantInfo LIKE '%Guu%') 
OR (restaurantName LIKE '%Guu%') 
    OR (restaurantDescription LIKE '%Guu%')

It looks like you’re trying to build it dynamically; if that’s the case, then I’d suggest you post how you’re building it.
