Hi guys, I have a jdbc static query like this:

```
local_lookups => [
      {
        query => "select * from servers WHERE ip LIKE = '%:ip%'"
        parameters => {ip => "[from_ip]"}
        target => "server"
      }
    ]
```

I want to search based from field "from\_ip" with LIKE operator on my database. Problem is, LIKE operator followed by '%:ip%' can't be run. How to properly use the LIKE operator on jdbc query?
