In Oracle, you can use the LIKE operator and wildcards to perform fuzzy matching.<\/p>\n

The LIKE operator can be used for fuzzy string matching, and wildcards can match any character in the pattern.<\/p>\n

Here are some commonly used wildcards:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Percentage sign (%) matches any character (including zero characters).<\/li>\n
  2. Underscore (_): matches any single character.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For example, to query all users whose names contain “Smith,” you can use the following statement:<\/p>\n

    SELECT * FROM users WHERE name LIKE '%Smith%';\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    This will return all users with the name “Smith” in their name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
