LIKE Operator

The LIKE command is used in a WHERE clause to search for a specified


pattern in a column.

You can use two wildcards with LIKE:

● % - Represents zero, one, or multiple characters


● _ - Represents a single character (MS Access uses a question mark (?)
instead)

Scenario 1: Write a query to display first name and last name of the employee
whose first name starts with ‘AN’

Here we need to match first two characters as an after that any number of
characters means ‘an%’is the pattern matching

SELECT
first_name,last_name
FROM
employee
WHERE
first_name
LIKE 'an%';

Output:

first_name last_name

Scenario 2: Write a query to display the first name and last name of the
employee whose first name has the second character ‘o’.

Here we are matching for second character as o, so there should be any single
character before o(_o) and after o any number of characters so ‘_o%’ is the
pattern matching

SELECT
first_name,last_name
FROM
employee
WHERE
first_name
LIKE '_o%';

Output:

first_name last_name
