Is there a way to select a value which matches partially in MySQL?
To match partially, use LIKE operator. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable806(
StudentId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
StudentName varchar(100),
StudentSubject varchar(100)
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.57 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable806(StudentName,StudentSubject) values('Chris','Java in Depth With Data Structure');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable806(StudentName,StudentSubject) values('Robert','Introduction to MySQL');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable806(StudentName,StudentSubject) values('Bob','C++ in Depth With Data Structure And Algorithm');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable806(StudentName,StudentSubject) values('Adam','Introduction to MongoDB');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable806;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+-------------+------------------------------------------------+
| StudentId | StudentName | StudentSubject |
+-----------+-------------+------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | Chris | Java in Depth With Data Structure |
| 2 | Robert | Introduction to MySQL |
| 3 | Bob | C++ in Depth With Data Structure And Algorithm |
| 4 | Adam | Introduction to MongoDB |
+-----------+-------------+------------------------------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to select a value which matches partially −
mysql> select *from DemoTable806 where StudentSubject LIKE '%Depth%';
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+-------------+------------------------------------------------+
| StudentId | StudentName | StudentSubject |
+-----------+-------------+------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | Chris | Java in Depth With Data Structure |
| 3 | Bob | C++ in Depth With Data Structure And Algorithm |
+-----------+-------------+------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
