MySqlCommand, MySqlParameter and "LIKE" with Percent Symbol

//Wrong way

MySqlCommand cmd = oldDb.GetSqlStringCommand(CommandType.Text,"SELECT * _

FROM users WHERE name LIKE '%@name%'");

MySqlParameter nameParameter= cmd.CreateParameter();

nameParameter.DbType = DbType.String;

nameParameter.ParameterName = "@name";

nameParameter.Value = "John";



//Good way

MySqlCommand cmd = oldDb.GetSqlStringCommand(CommandType.Text,"SELECT * _

FROM users WHERE name LIKE @searchText");

MySqlParameter nameParameter= cmd.CreateParameter();

nameParameter.DbType = DbType.String;

nameParameter.ParameterName = "@searchText"

nameParameter.Value = "%John%";
