Parameter with pattern matching syntax in a PostgreSQL query

Question

Iam writing a golang program in which i query postgres database. I want to to use $1 to supply values and should have a pattern matching

Db.Query("SELECT * FROM table where name like %$1%", user)

it says:

syntax error at or near "%"

Answer 1

Your syntax is wrong, try

user := "%"+user+"%"

rows, err := Db.Query("SELECT * FROM table where name like $1", user)

if err!=nil{
    fmt.Println(err)
}
