sqliteHow do I use the SQLite GLOB operator in software development?


The GLOB operator in SQLite is used to compare text strings using patterns. It is a powerful tool for software development, as it enables developers to search for data in a database using wildcard characters.

Example code

SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE field_name GLOB 'pattern';

This example code will return all records from the table_name table where the field_name matches the pattern specified.

Code explanation

  1. SELECT * FROM table_name: This part of the code selects all records from the table_name table.
  2. WHERE field_name GLOB 'pattern': This part of the code specifies the pattern to search for in the field_name field. The GLOB operator allows the use of wildcard characters such as * and ? to match multiple characters.
  3. 'pattern': This part of the code specifies the pattern to search for. This can be a string of characters or a wildcard pattern.
