how to check if an entry exists in java sqlite column

please i am trying to check if an entry exists in an sqlite database column. and i am using java. here is what my code looks like

                    String name =JTextField.getText();
                    String sql0 = "select * from Objects where Description like " + name;
                    pStmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql0);
                    rs = pStmt.executeQuery();

                    if (rs.next()) {//if there is such entry...
                       System.out.println("there is an entry");
                    } else {//no such entry add the asset normally...
                         System.out.println("there is no such entry");

                    }

the code is just a test code for testing my sqlite query... name is the the entry to search for in the Description Column. whenever i run this i get an error saying no such column as the value i have stored as name. please i really need help on this thanks.
