SQL search for string containing characters

Question

I have a string "abc" , and I want to search, in a SQL table, for the values that contain either a, b or c.

This is what I have right now:

Select * from TABLE where NAME like "abc" ;

This didn't work, but I know if I try something like

where Name like "a" or Name like "b" or ....

it will work.

Is there an easier way to do this? Since I don't want to separate my string into characters.

Answer 1

从ab中选择*，名称为REGEXP'[abc]'

Answer 2

You can use regular expression for this.
Have a look at the following :

Select * from TABLE where NAME REGEXP "[abc]";

Answer 3

This will do

Select * from TABLE where NAME like "%abc%" ;
