Sql - Checking a column if it contains a row value

If you want to check if a column contains a specific value in Oracle SQL, you can use a simple SELECT statement with a WHERE clause. Here's an example:

SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE your_column = 'your_value';

Replace your_table with the actual table name, your_column with the column you want to check, and 'your_value' with the specific value you are looking for.

For instance, if you want to check if the column employee_name in the employees table contains the name 'John', you can write:

SELECT * FROM employees WHERE employee_name = 'John';

If there are rows that satisfy the condition, they will be returned in the result set.

If you want to check if the column contains any value (not a specific one), you can use the IS NOT NULL condition:

SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE your_column IS NOT NULL;

This query will return all rows where the specified column has a non-null value.

Adjust the query based on your specific use case and the type of value you are checking for in the column.
