Syntax error MySQL query not matching due to punctuation?

MySQL query not matching due to punctuation?



Use the MySQL LIKE operator to match even when punctuation is present. Let us first create a table−

mysql> create table DemoTable
   -> (
   -> Comments varchar(20)
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.10 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Good,Morning');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Nice');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.51 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('good,bye!');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+--------------+
|  Comments    |
+--------------+
| Good,Morning |
| Nice         |
| good,bye!    |
+--------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to match even when punctuation is present −

mysql> select *from DemoTable where Comments like '%good%';

This will produce the following output −

+--------------+
| Comments     |
+--------------+
| Good,Morning |
| good,bye!    |
+--------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
