Review Comment:
   empirically, I found out that not adding `%` only returns the namespace 
itself. 
   I believe the like() function doesn't make any assumptions about where the 
fuzzy match character should appear in the string you provide, so it's up to 
the user to include the % where needed.
   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.
