In Oracle, you can use the LIKE operator and wildcards to perform fuzzy matching.

The LIKE operator can be used for fuzzy string matching, and wildcards can match any character in the pattern.

Here are some commonly used wildcards:

  1. Percentage sign (%) matches any character (including zero characters).
  2. Underscore (_): matches any single character.

For example, to query all users whose names contain “Smith,” you can use the following statement:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE name LIKE '%Smith%';

This will return all users with the name “Smith” in their name.
