Question

Example – Sub string is "ab" And if the contents are

abhi
babu
abdullah

Then after running the query I should be getting only the values

abhi 
abdullah

Even though value ‘babu‘ contains the sub string ab

Suppose the table name is person and the column name is name

Answer 1

You can use LIKE operator like this:

SELECT * FROM person
WHERE name LIKE 'ab%'

If you add % ahead of ab then babu will also come in result so only add % after ab.
