This is an old thread (May 24th) and answered to satisfaction some time ago. David, you responded then also.

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

I have an existing module I'm trying to convert to DBTNG and have a condition I need a suggestion on.
Original statement is something like SELECT mt.myvar FROM {mytable} mt WHERE mystring LIKE '%%%s%%';
I want to change it to db_select('mytable', 'mt') ->fields('mt', array('myvar')) ->condtion('mystring', '%:mystring%', LIKE) ->execute();
The problem is condition() only takes three parameters, what would
you
suggest to use to replace :mystring? I'm using t() but that seems like a misuse of it.
