Hi all,

                I recently tried to create a search function which is supposed 
to display all possible results in a table even if the title is incomplete. 
However, I am using python variables and hence have to use colon notation to 
sub it into the sql command, however I also learnt about wildcards. How then do 
I use both of them without resulting in a conflict or error? My code goes 
something like this:

 

````

@app.route("/movie_results") #im using flask

def movie_results():

    name = request.args.get("movie.title")

    search_movie_statement = sqlalchemy.text('SELECT * FROM movies WHERE title 
LIKE :movie_title')

    movie_specific = engine.execute(search_movie_statement, 
movie_title=name).fetchall()

    if movie_specific is not None:

        print(name)

        return render_template("movie_specific.html", 
movie_specific=movie_specific, name=name)

    if movie_specific is None:

        return render_template("error2.html", message="No such movie.")

````

 

Thanks,

Cravan
