SQL Like

The LIKE operator is used in a WHERE clause to search for a specified pattern in a column.

There are two wildcards often used in conjunction with the LIKE operator:

•  The percent sign (%) represents zero, one, or multiple characters
•  The underscore sign (_) represents one, single character

table_name : employee

column_name : emp_id , emp_name , emp_salary ,emp_email,emp_contact_number

SYNTAX :

SELECT column1, column2, ...

FROM table_name

WHERE columnN LIKE pattern;

QUERY :

SELECT emp_id, emp_name

FROM employee

WHERE contact_number LIKE 901;
