Question : Passed parameter used in select statement  where column like the passed parameter

How do I use passed parameter in
‘where column like my_parameter?

I have a loop where I’m passing parameters and need to update a table where column LIKE my_parameter. So the  first my_parameter is say '9876' and I need to update the table where my_column like '9876%'.

Update my_table set my_column1 = 3 where my_column like my_parameter;

Answer : Passed parameter used in select statement  where column like the passed parameter

this will do:

1:	Update my_table set my_column1 = 3 where my_column like my_parameter ||'%';
