This MySQL LIKE condition example returns all suppliers whose name starts with H and ends in %. Here is another more complicated example using escape characters in the MySQL LIKE condition. As a result, this statement will also return all suppliers whose supplier_name is G%. The ! escape character would result in MySQL treating the % character as a literal. This MySQL LIKE condition example identifies the ! character as an escape character. WHERE supplier_name LIKE 'G!%' ESCAPE '!' We can override the default escape character in MySQL by providing the ESCAPE modifier as follows: SELECT * This statement would then return all suppliers whose supplier_name is G%. MySQL then assumes that the escape character is "\" which results in MySQL treating the % character as a literal instead of a wildcard. Since we didn't specify an escape character, MySQL assumes that the "\" is the escape character. Please note that you can only define an escape character as a single character (length of 1). You can do this using an Escape character. Let's say you wanted to search for a % or a _ character in the MySQL LIKE condition.
These examples deal specifically with escaping characters in MySQL.
MYSQL LIKE WITH UNDERSCORE HOW TO
It is important to understand how to "Escape Characters" when pattern matching. The example above, would retrieve potentially 10 records back (where the missing value could equal anything from 0 to 9). You might find that you are looking for an account number, but you only have 5 of the 6 digits.
For example, it could return suppliers whose supplier_name is 'Smith', 'Smyth', 'Smath', 'Smeth', etc. This MySQL LIKE condition example would return all suppliers whose supplier_name is 5 characters long, where the first two characters are 'Sm' and the last two characters are 'th'. Remember that _ wildcard is looking for only one character. Next, let's explain how the _ wildcard (underscore wildcard) works in the MySQL LIKE condition. Example - Using _ wildcard (underscore wildcard)
