📚 LIKE OPERATOR

The LIKE operator is used in SQL to search for a specified pattern in a column.
It is often used with wildcard characters to match partial values.

---

🛠️ Basic Syntax

SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE column LIKE pattern;

• SELECT specifies the columns you want.
• FROM specifies the table.
• WHERE filters rows based on a matching pattern.

Example

SELECT * FROM users WHERE first_name LIKE 'J%';

• This query selects all users whose first_name starts with the letter "J".

Key Points

• % matches zero or more characters.
• _ matches exactly one character.
• Patterns are case-insensitive in many SQL systems, but not all.
• Always enclose the pattern in single quotes ('...').

Additional Example

SELECT * FROM products
WHERE product_name LIKE '%phone';

• This query selects all products whose name ends with "phone".
