🔍 SQL Tutorial: Pattern Matching with Wildcards & LOCATE Function 🔍
In this video, we dive into SQL's pattern matching using the % wildcard and compare it with the powerful LOCATE() function. You'll learn how to search for specific conditions in a column, such as finding patient records with the condition 'DIAB1' in a medical database.
