Question

I need to be able to check if a variable has a certain string of text inside it. Here’s what I have now:

--This sample always goes to the ELSE block.
IF( @name LIKE '%John%' )
BEGIN
    --do one thing
END
ELSE
BEGIN
    --do the other thing
END

Answer 1

dunno…works for me

declare @name varchar(45)

set @name = 'johnson'

IF( @name LIKE '%John%' )
BEGIN
    print 'like'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
    print 'dislike'
END
