MySQL select where column is not empty

Question

In MySQL, can I select columns only where something exists?

For example, I have the following query:

select phone, phone2
from jewishyellow.users
wh         


        

Answer 1

you can use like operator wildcard to achieve this:

SELECT t.phone, 
       t.phone2 
FROM jewishyellow.users t
WHERE t.phone LIKE '813%' 
  AND t.phone2 like '[0-9]';

in this way, you could get all phone2 that have a number prefix.
