Hi All,

SQL

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Title like 'PR%'

The above query will give me the result set of records having title starting with 'PR'
example: Price,PRofit,Predict etc.

but instead of PR hard coded I'll get it in a variable say @Title = 'PR' based on which I need to filter
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Title like @PR %

This is throwing error.

Could you please help me in this to query

Thanks & Regards,
Mathi.

SQL

DECLARE @sqlQuery nVARCHAR(500)
        SET @sqlQuery = 'SELECT * FROM #tempSectionDetails WHERE Title like '''+@Title+ '%' + '''ORDER BY Title'

        EXECUTE sp_executesql @sqlQuery

Even this worked for me....
