Thread: pattern matching operator

pattern matching operator

From
"Wallingford, Ted"
Date:
I need some help (the postgresql.org documentation pages are down??)

I need to know what the pattern-matching operator is for string values in a
select query...

select field,field from table where field ?????? 'string';

I want to wildcard both ends of the string..

Thanks!

Ted Wallingford

Hi,
May be you need some thing like this:

Select field1, field2 from table where field1~*'string' ;

Hope that helps,
Omid Omoomi

You can also do it in plain SQL, no regexp:
   select field,field from table where field like '%string%';
