5This example uses the LIKE operator to find employees whose first names start with a:
6
7SELECT 
8    employeeNumber, 
9    lastName, 
10    firstName
11FROM
12    employees
13WHERE
14    firstName LIKE 'a%';
15    
16    This example uses the LIKE operator to find employees whose last names end with on e.g., Patterson, Thompson:
17
18SELECT 
19    employeeNumber, 
20    lastName, 
21    firstName
22FROM
23    employees
24WHERE
25    lastName LIKE '%on';
26    
27    
28    For example, to find all employees whose last names contain on , you use the following query with the pattern %on%
29
30SELECT 
31    employeeNumber, 
32    lastName, 
33    firstName
34FROM
35    employees
36WHERE
37    lastname LIKE '%on%';
