What is the purpose of “startwith” in MySQL?

In MySQL, “startwith” is not a built-in function or operator; it appears to be a misspelling. If you want to search for data that starts with a specific character or string, you can use the LIKE operator with the wildcard %.

For example, if you want to search for data starting with the letter “A,” you can do so by querying like this:

SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name LIKE 'A%';

This will return all the data in the column_name column that starts with “A”.
