How can MySQL query data that meets a certain pattern?

To search for data that meets a certain pattern, you can use the LIKE operator and wildcards in SQL. Here are some examples:

1. Search for data starting with a specific string:

SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name LIKE 'prefix%';

1. Search for data that ends with a specific string.

SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name LIKE '%suffix';

1. Search for data that contains a specific string.

SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name LIKE '%keyword%';

1. Search for string data of a specific length.

SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE LENGTH(column_name) = desired_length;

1. Search for data that starts with a specific character and has a specific length.

SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name LIKE 'prefix%' AND LENGTH(column_name) = desired_length;

By utilizing the above methods, data that meets specific criteria can be retrieved based on individual needs.
