[support] db_select()->condition()

[Metzler, David]

I seem to be missing some of the messages on this thread, so I apologize
if this question has already been answered more thoroughly.  

You appear to be confusing db_query syntax with db_select. The query
builder does not take tokens.  This might help grok db_select.  

db_select('mytable', 'mt')
  ->fields('mt', array('mycolumn'))
  ->condition('mycolumn', '%' . $mystring . '%', 'LIKE')
  ->execute();

Like is particularly confusing because it basically takes a regular
expression inside the quotes.  

Hope this helps... Dave
