SQL Server LIKE Operator: The LIKE operator is a tool in SQL (Structured Query Language) that helps us search for specific patterns within text data. Pattern Matching: Imagine you have a list of names, and you want to find all the names containing the letters “abc.”, The LIKE operator helps you to perform it. Wildcard characters: The wildcard characters are like secret codes: % represents any number of characters (even zero characters)._ represents exactly one character. For example: LIKE '%abc%' finds any name containing “abc” anywhere.LIKE 'a_bc' finds names like “abc,” “axbc,” or “azbc.”
