Question

I have a column that contains values like 5A898, 89KAS, 89ASD.

I’m trying to write a query that will only return rows where the third digit of the column is ‘A’. For instance ’89ASD’ would be returned but ’89KAS’ would not. I’m not sure what the right way to go about this is. Regular expressions?

So…

SELECT column
FROM table
WHERE column = ?

Answer 1

WHERE column LIKE '__A%'
                   ^^-- 2 underscores

should do the trick. two “whatever” characters, followed by an A, then followed by anything in any amount.
