Question

I have a SQL statement like the following:

select A from table1, (select B from table2) where A like B

I’m wondering if it’s possible to append wildcard ‘%’ to B in the where statement, like:

where A like B%

Thank you!

EDIT: I’m working on SAP HANA database, I figured out the correct syntax, it is:

where A like B || '%'

Thanks for all your help!

Answer 1

Yes it is possible, but the syntax varies from database to database.

SQL Server

WHERE A LIKE (B + '%')

Oracle

WHERE A LIKE (B || '%')

MySQL / Postgres

WHERE A LIKE CONCAT(B, '%')
