Question

I have this problem and I dont know where to start.
For example I have this in my database [this is just sample database
]

id  word
1   adore
2   and
3   apple
4   asore
5   banana
6   bate
7   beat
8   busy

How can I sort it and filter it so I only view words beginning with ‘A’?

id  word
1   adore
2   and
3   apple
4   asore

Answer 1

select id, word 
from your_table
where word like 'a%'
order by id 

or

select id, word 
from your_table
where substring(word, 1, 1) = 'a'
order by id
