T-SQL – LIKE Clause



The MS SQL Server LIKE clause is used to compare a value to similar values using wildcard operators. There are two wildcards used in conjunction with the LIKE operator −

  • The percent sign (%)
  • The underscore (_)

The percent sign represents zero, one, or multiple characters. The underscore represents a single number or character. The symbols can be used in combinations.

Syntax

Following is the basic syntax of % and _.

SELECT *column-list FROM table_name 
WHERE column LIKE ''XXXX%'' 
 
or   

SELECT *column-list FROM table_name 
WHERE column LIKE ''%XXXX%''  

or  

SELECT *column-list FROM table_name 
WHERE column LIKE ''XXXX_''  

or  

SELECT *column-list FROM table_name 
WHERE column LIKE ''_XXXX''  

or  

SELECT  *column-list FROM table_name 
WHERE column LIKE ''_XXXX_'' 

You can combine N number of conditions using AND or OR operators. XXXX could be any numeric or string value.
