 The SQL LIKE Operator:

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
• Here are some examples showing different LIKE operators
with '%' and '_' wildcards:
LIKE Operator Description

WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a%' Finds any values that start with "a"

WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%a' Finds any values that end with "a"

WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%or%' Finds any values that have "or" in any
position
WHERE CustomerName LIKE '_r%' Finds any values that have "r" in the
second position

WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a_%' Finds any values that start with "a" and
are at least 2 characters in length

WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a__%' Finds any values that start with "a" and
