Hi All,
I'm baffled by what should be a simple thing. I'm trying to use a parameter in a WHERE clause.
A dirt simple example might be:

declare @Arg varchar(20)
SET @Arg = 'Joe%'

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Name LIKE @Arg

I get nothing back from the above while SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Name LIKE 'Joe%' works like a champ.

Clearly, I'm new to doing this. I really want to avoid dynamic SQL here!

Any help is appreciated.

Gary
