How to escape '%' character on the left and middle part of strings in a MySQL column?
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable629 (StudentId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,StudentSubject text); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.77 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable629(StudentSubject) values('MySQL%');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable629(StudentSubject) values('Spring%Hibernate');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable629(StudentSubject) values('%Java');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable629;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+------------------+ | StudentId | StudentSubject | +-----------+------------------+ | 1 | MySQL% | | 2 | Spring%Hibernate | | 3 | %Java | +-----------+------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to escape '%' character −
mysql> select *from DemoTable629 where StudentSubject like '%\%';
