Subject: Please Help with Pattern Matching
I have a big problem with pattern matching;
Why does the first example work like this I need to find everything with
MWF in it and I only get the 1 entry? Is there a way I can make this
work.
mysql> select schdays from courses where schdays LIKE "%MWF%";
+---------+
| schdays |
+---------+
| MWF |
+---------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select schdays from courses where schdays LIKE "%M%";
+---------+
| schdays |
+---------+
| MWF |
| MW |
| MW |
| M |
| M |
+---------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Thanks in advance,
Douglas
