See quote_literal() and/or quote_nullable(). On the whole though I
think you'd be best off not using a dynamically-constructed query at
all --- given the desired %'s in the LIKE pattern, there is not going
to be any benefit at all from using an unparameterized query. Just
write it out without all the string-construction.
