#MySQL LIKE operator is used to select data based on pattern matching. Likewise, we can use the LIKE operator with a view to select specific data based on pattern matching in the base table. To understand this concept, we use the base table "student_info" with the following data -
mysql> Select * from Student_info; +------+---------+------------+------------+ | id | Name | Address | Subject | +------+---------+------------+------------+ | 101 | YashPal | Amritsar | History | | 105 | Gaurav | Chandigarh | Literature | | 125 | Raman | Shimla | Computers | | 130 | Ram | Jhansi | Computers | | 132 | Shyam | Chandigarh | Economics | | 133 | Mohan | Delhi | Computers | +------+---------+------------+------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The following query will create a view named "Info" using the "LIKE" operator Select some specific values based on pattern matching-
mysql> Create or Replace view Info AS SELECT * from student_info WHERE Name LIKE '%Ra%'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec) mysql> Select * from Info; +------+--------+------------+------------+ | id | Name | Address | Subject | +------+--------+------------+------------+ | 105 | Gaurav | Chandigarh | Literature | | 125 | Raman | Shimla | Computers | | 130 | Ram | Jhansi | Computers | +------+--------+------------+------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
We can also use NOT with LIKE operator as follows-
mysql> Create or Replace view Info AS SELECT * from student_info WHERE Name NOT LIKE'%Ra%'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.14 sec) mysql> Select * from info; +------+---------+------------+-----------+ | id | Name | Address | Subject | +------+---------+------------+-----------+ | 101 | YashPal | Amritsar | History | | 132 | Shyam | Chandigarh | Economics | | 133 | Mohan | Delhi | Computers | +------+---------+------------+-----------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
