Question

I’m trying to do a simple select statement on a mysql database. In MsSql it works fine, but I can’t get it to work in MySql.

What I want to do is the following:

Lets say I have a table (named TestTable) like this:

ID     |  DOMAIN             |  NrOfVisitors
--------------------------------------------
1      | something.com       | 435
--------------------------------------------
2      | blabla.com          | 231

And I have a string, like http://bla.ttt.something.com/blabla

Now I want to pass in the string, and select the rows where the domain is in the string.
In MsSQL I can do the following:

SELECT * 
    FROM TestTable 
    WHERE "http://bla.ttt.something.com/blabla" LIKE "%" DOMAIN "%"

But in MySql it returns 0 rows. WHat am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

SELECT * FROM TestTable WHERE "http://bla.ttt.something.com/blabla" LIKE CONCAT("%",DOMAIN,"%")
