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 used in conjunction with the LIKE

operator:
% - The percent sign represents zero, one, or multiple
characters
_ - The underscore represents a single character.

Here are some examples showing different LIKE operators

with '%' and '_' wildcards:
LIKE Operator Description

WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a%' Finds any values that

starts with "a"

WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%a' Finds any values that

ends 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 starts with "a" and are at least 3 characters in length

WHERE ContactName LIKE 'a%o' Finds any values that

starts with "a" and ends with "o"

1) selects all customers with a CustomerName starting

with "a":
SELECT * FROM Customers
WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a%';
2) The following SQL statement selects all customers
with a CustomerName ending with "a":
SELECT * FROM Customers
WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%a';
a. The following SQL statement selects all
customers with a CustomerName that have "or"
in any position:
SELECT * FROM Customers
WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%or%';
 3) The following SQL statement selects all customers
with a CustomerName that have "r" in the second
position:
SELECT * FROM Customers
WHERE CustomerName LIKE '_r%';
4) The following SQL statement selects all customers
with a CustomerName that starts with "a" and are at
least 3 characters in length:
SELECT * FROM Customers
WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a_%_%';
5) The following SQL statement selects all customers
with a ContactName that starts with "a" and ends
with "o":
SELECT * FROM Customers
WHERE ContactName LIKE 'a%o';
6) The following SQL statement selects all customers
with a CustomerName that does NOT start with "a":
SELECT * FROM Customers
WHERE CustomerName NOT LIKE 'a%';
