Okay I see my confusion. I can use a statement like: select * from customers where customername LIKE '%int%’
This works. It seems however that when using parameter substitution it does not. In sqlYoga I can use: put sqlquery_createObject(“customers”) into qCustomerObject put “customer name LIKE ‘%:1%’” into tConditions put “int” into aBindings [1] sqlquery_set qCustomerObject, “conditions”, tConditions sqlquery_set qCustomerObject, “condition bindings”, aBindings sqlquery_retrieveAsArray qCustomerObject, aCustomerData This also works. I should also mention that my mail program *DOES* substitute plain quotes for smart ones. I am disabling that “feature” now.
