=== `LIKE`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use `LIKE` to filter data based on string patterns using wildcards. `LIKE`
|
||
|
|
usually acts on a field placed on the left-hand side of the operator, but it can
|
||
|
|
also act on a constant (literal) expression. The right-hand side of the operator
|
||
|
|
represents the pattern.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following wildcard characters are supported:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `*` matches zero or more characters.
|
||
|
|
* `?` matches one character.
