How to use LIKE clause in query function

There is two joker : "%" and "_".

"%" is replacing any string (multiple characters),

"_" is replacing one (and only one) character.

For example :

LIKE 'B%' 

let you find everything which starts with "B". (like "BATMAN");

LIKE '%B%'

let you find everthing which contains "B". (like "ABBA");

LIKE'_B%'

let you find everything which contains ONE caracter, then a "B". (like "ABERCROMBIE)".

if you want to retrieve a string which contains "%" or "_", you may use an escape caracter :

LIKE '%#_B%' ESCAPE #

let you find any strings which contains one "_" followed by a "B". (like "TEST_BATMAN").

I hope that helped.
