SELECT where row value contains string in MySQL?
To select the row value containing string in MySQL, use the following syntax.
SELECT *FROM yourTableName where yourColumnName like ‘%yourPattern%’;
To understand the above syntax, let us first create a table. The query to create a table is as follows.
mysql> create table PatternDemo -> ( -> Id int, -> Name varchar(100), -> Age int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.97 sec)
Insert records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows.
mysql> insert into PatternDemo values(1,'James',23); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into PatternDemo values(2,'Joseph',21); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into PatternDemo values(3,'Robert',20); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into PatternDemo values(4,'John',26); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into PatternDemo values(5,'Richard',24); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
Now you can display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows.
mysql> select *from PatternDemo;
The following is the output.
+------+---------+------+ | Id | Name | Age | +------+---------+------+ | 1 | James | 23 | | 2 | Joseph | 21 | | 3 | Robert | 20 | | 4 | John | 26 | | 5 | Richard | 24 | +------+---------+------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query that will give all names with the characters “Jo”. The query is as follows.
mysql> select *from PatternDemo where Name like '%Jo%';
The following is the output.
+------+--------+------+ | Id | Name | Age | +------+--------+------+ | 2 | Joseph | 21 | | 4 | John | 26 | +------+--------+------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
