I would like to move this to postgreSQL but I'm just not sure how to get it done. This is the query SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE FirstName LIKE @custfirst + '%'; This works great on SQL Server but not on postgreSQL. Any help would be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Query-with-Parameters-and-Wildcards-tp23248274p23248274.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - sql mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
