How to use placeholders in like clause in SQL query?

Question

This is my query:

 select * from Table1 where Identifier = 'ABC' and Identifier_Type like ':name%:id' 

can I change this to,

 select * from Table1 where Identifier = 'ABC' and Identifier_Type like '?%?'  

will it work? I have to use these parameters in the prepared statement so I thought of replacing the named parameters with the placeholders '?'.. will it work like this '?%?'

Answer 1

Query Should be like this::

    PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement ("Select * 
    from 
    Table1 where Identifier = 'ABC' and Identifier_Type  like?");

While setting in prepared statement:

   pstmt.setString(1, "%" + data + "%"); // where data is string Variable

OR By using SQL function

   PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement(
  "select * from Table1 where Identifier = 'ABC' and Identifier_Type  
    like  CONCAT( '%',?,'%')";
     
     pstmt.setString(1, data); // Where data is String variable
