Use wildcards in ado.net sybase parameter


Does some one know, how to use wildcards with ado.net parameter in sybase sql anywhere?

For example i want to search for all names, starting with Se. In a normal query i would use select * from names where name like 'Se%'. But in ADO.Net my query looks like SELECT * from names where name like ? and the question mark will be set over SAParameter.

SACommand command = new SACommand(SqlStatement, cConnection);
command.Parameters.Add(new SAParameter() { Value = "Se%" });

The problem is, Value could not contains any wildcards.

Thank you very much!


Solution

  • here's my solution example

    using (SAConnection con = new SAConnection(DBConnStr))
    {
        con.Open();
        try
        {
            string sql = "select * from names where name like ?";
            SACommand cmd = new SACommand(sql, con);
            cmd.Parameters.Add("@p1","Se%");
            SADataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
            while (rdr.Read())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(rdr["name"].ToString());
            }
            rdr.Close();
        }
        finally
        {
            con.Close();
        }
    }
    Console.ReadLine();
