Can we use “LIKE concat()” in a MySQL query?

Yes, we can do that. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable (    Name varchar(50) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.63 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('John'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Adam'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Bob'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Mike'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+------+ | Name | +------+ | John | | Adam | | Bob | | Mike | +------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to use “LIKE concat()” in MySQL −

mysql> select Name from DemoTable where Name LIKE concat('%','o','%');

This will produce the following output −

+------+ | Name | +------+ | John | | Bob | +------+ 2 rows in set (0.03 sec)
