A small correction: if you want "Jo" to match John or LittleJohn, you need
to do:
SELECT * FROM customers WHERE name LIKE "%Jo%"

Subject: How To Generate The SELECT statement I need
Hi,
I need to generate a select statement that has a comparison in it.
I have checked the FAQ to no avail.
I want to write something like this:
SELECT * FROM customers WHERE name =~ 'Jo'
which uses the =~ comparison (used in Perl) to return any records that
contain the letters 'Jo', which could mean "John" or "LittleJohn"
How can I do this in MySQL?
How can I make it case sensitive or insensitive.
Thank You For Your Help,
Craig Atkins
