Can we combine MySQL IN AND LIKE operators?

Yes, we can combine IN and LIKE operators in MySQL using LIKE and OR operator. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> SubjectTitle text -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.68 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Introduction To MySQL'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Java in Depth'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Coding with Python'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.54 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('C++ in Depth'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

Output

This will produce the following output −

+-----------------------+ | SubjectTitle | +-----------------------+ | Introduction To MySQL | | Java in Depth | | Coding with Python | | C++ in Depth | +-----------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to use LIKE and OR in a single MySQL query −

mysql> select *from DemoTable where SubjectTitle LIKE '%MySQL%' OR SubjectTitle LIKE'C++%';

Output

This will produce the following output −

+-----------------------+ | SubjectTitle | +-----------------------+ | Introduction To MySQL | | C++ in Depth | +-----------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
