Fetch records containing a specific character twice in MySQL

Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable    -> (    -> Words text    -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.54 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Ever'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Forever'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Good'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Never'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

Output

+---------+ | Words   | +---------+ | Ever    | | Forever | | Good    | | Never   | +---------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to fetch records containing a specific character twice. Here, we are searching for records with the character “e” appearing 2 times −

mysql> select *from DemoTable where Words LIKE '%e%e%';

Output

+---------+ | Words   | +---------+ | Ever    | | Forever | | Never   | +---------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
