How to obtain multiple rows in a single MySQL query?
To obtain multiple rows in a single MySQL query, use LIKE operator. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1385
-> (
-> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
-> Name varchar(20)
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.90 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1385(Name) values('Chris Brown');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1385(Name) values('Adam Smith');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1385(Name) values('Carol Taylor');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1385(Name) values('John Doe');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.48 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1385(Name) values('John Smith');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1385;
This will produce the following output −
+----+--------------+
| Id | Name |
+----+--------------+
| 1 | Chris Brown |
| 2 | Adam Smith |
| 3 | Carol Taylor |
| 4 | John Doe |
| 5 | John Smith |
+----+--------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

+----+------------+
| Id | Name |
+----+------------+
