Hi All
any one know how to add a wildcard to a variable?

example

declare @wild int

set @wild=16

select * from anytable where tableid like @wild+'%'

I want all records in anytable begining with 16

what datatype is [tableid] ?

Is it INT like your @wild variable? So you want any id like 16, 162, 1600034?
Or is it some type of varchar? If so just make your variable varchar then you statement would work.
