Get the names beginning with a particular character using LIKE in MySQL
To get the names beginning with a particular character, you need to use LIKE. Let us first create a table:
mysql> create table DemoTable ( StudentFirstName varchar(20) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.01 sec)
Following is the query to insert some records in the table using insert command:
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('John');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Carol');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Johnny');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Robert');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Ramit');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)Following is the query to display records from the table using select command:
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output:
+------------------+ | StudentFirstName | +------------------+ | John | | Carol | | Johnny | | Robert | | Chris | | Ramit | +------------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to match the first character with LIKE: i.e. all students with first name beginning from character C:
mysql> select *from DemoTable where StudentFirstName LIKE 'C%';
This will produce the following output:
+------------------+ | StudentFirstName | +------------------+ | Carol | | Chris | +------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
