Let's practice

Instruction

That's the way to go! Of course, the percentage sign (%) can be put anywhere between the single quotes and as many times as it's necessary:

SELECT *
FROM user
WHERE name LIKE '%A%';

That's right, the example above will select any user whose name contains at least one 'A'.

Remember that the percentage sign (%) can also match zero characters, so the name can also begin or end with the A.

Exercise

Select the vin columns for all cars whose model ends with an "s".

Stuck? Here's a hint!

Type:

SELECT vin
FROM car
WHERE model LIKE '%s';
