Question

I have a table called table1 with two coloumns “id” and “name”.
The values are :

id       name
----------------
(A1001   abc)
(A1002   bcd)
(A1003   cde)
(A1004   def)

I’m trying this query:

select distinct id,name
 from table1
 where id like '%1%' or name like '%c%' and id <> 'A1002'

It is not working. I want to get all the id and names that are like ‘1’ or ‘c’ but want to exclude the row whose id is ‘A1002’.

Answer 1

Use parenthesis, and has higher precedence than or.

select distinct id,name
 from table1
 where (id like '%1%' or name like '%c%') and id <> 'A1002'
