santosh%s

How to search for these values in DB using like operator.

How to change the above query to search for apostrophe(santosh’s)

Answer 1

for 1. apostrophe s you can use

Select * from table where column like '%santosh''s%' 

for 2. /s you can give directly

Select * from table where column like '%santosh/s%' 

for 3. %s you can use

Select * from table where column like '%santosh[%]s%' 

hope this helps…..
