sql “LIKE” equivalent in django query

Question

What is the equivalent of this SQL statement in Django?

SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE string LIKE pattern;

How do I implement this in Django? I tried

result = table.objects.filter( pattern in string )

But that did not work. How do I implement this?

Answer 1

Try using __contains or __icontains (case-insensitive) like this:

result = table.objects.filter(string__contains='pattern')
