Type:
SELECT quote,last FROM quote,name WHERE (quote.name_id=name.id AND last LIKE 'J%');
then press
ENTER
.
The query results should look like this:
Again, this query is similar to the ones you've been working with. The difference is in the second condition of the
WHERE
statement:
last LIKE 'J%'
LIKE
compares two values; in this case, the last name of a president with a letter, J.
%
is a wildcard character, that stands for any character or combination of characters.
J%
stands for any name starting with a J. For instance,
J%
could stand for Jefferson, Jackson, or Johnson.
This query returns quotes from presidents whose last names begin with J.
Close the MySQL database connection, then exit the terminal window.
