LIKE filtering

Sometimes you need to filter by some non-numeric column, but not by exact value, but some pattern.

One of the clearest examples is filtering emails so only emails hosted on google will be left (@gmail.com). In SQL it can be done by using LIKE statement and pattern built by using some wildcards. The most common wildcards are:

  • % - represents zero, one or more symbols

  • _ - represents one, and only one symbol.

For example, pattern a% will match everything starting with a (even single symbol a), pattern _B will match only two-letters strings ending with B.

To solve the task above we can use pattern %@gmail.com, as there is usually more than one symbol before @ symbol, but we don't know the exact number.

Please note, that you need to place your pattern within single quotes!
