Review Comment:
   empirically, I found out that not adding `%` only returns the namespace 
itself. 
   I think `like()` doesn't make any assumption on where the fuzzy match 
character should be in the string you pass so it's on the user to pass a string 
with `%`.
   I found this 
[example](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/core/sqlelement.html#sqlalchemy.sql.expression.ColumnOperators.like)
 in the doc.
   Alternatively we could use 
[startswith](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/core/sqlelement.html#sqlalchemy.sql.expression.ColumnOperators.startswith)
 which does the concatenation of the string with `%` for us.
