Hello everyone, welcome to Educate Cube. Today, we'll discuss the LIKE operator and wildcard characters in SQL.
The LIKE operator is used to search for specified patterns within column values. It is commonly paired with wildcard characters, such as the percentage (%) and underscore (_) symbols.
The percentage (%) wildcard matches any number of characters, making it useful for finding patterns regardless of their length. For instance, '%South%' will match 'South' regardless of any characters or spaces around it. On the other hand, the underscore (_) wildcard matches exactly one character. For example, '_West' will match ' West' (with a space before 'West').
We also discussed practical scenarios, such as filtering records where the region is 'West' or dealing with unexpected spaces or tabs in data. By using the LIKE operator and wildcards, we can effectively filter and identify patterns in our data.
In summary, the LIKE operator, combined with % and _, is a powerful tool for searching and filtering patterns in SQL, especially in more complex queries.
