    How do I use LIKE operator

    How do I use LIKE operator

    The SQL `LIKE` operator is used in a `WHERE` clause to search for a specified pattern in a column. It is commonly used with wildcard characters to perform flexible searches.

    Wildcard characters used with the `LIKE` operator:

    • % – Represents zero or more characters.
    • _ – Represents a single character.

    Here’s an example of how to use the `LIKE` operator:

    <?php $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE name LIKE 'J%'"; ?>

    SQL LIKE operator pattern matching wildcard characters
