Using a page item as its value in LIKE statement

Question

I want to get all the titles from a table in an interactive report where a certain word is found within another column of that table (article column). The word would be input through a text field called "TEXT". This is what I have in the interactive report region source:

SELECT title as "Word found in" 
FROM articles 
WHERE article like '% :TEXT %'

I'm not sure how to deal with the "TEXT" text field, this worked for equal (as in WHERE something =: TEXT)

Thanks!

Answer 1

SELECT title as "Word found in" 
FROM articles 
WHERE instr(TEXT, article)>0;

I'm not at all sure what you're doing here, but this may work for you.
