Use string as condition

How can I use string as condition. For example I will strore Name=="Sam"  in database and use this string in class to check this condition

Use a SOQL query like this:

SELECT Id, Name FROM Contact WHERE Name = 'Sam'

So, in an Apex class, you would have:

List<Contact> mylist = [SELECT Id, Name FROM Contact WHERE Name = 'Sam'];
