hi everyone, i need help on a sql query. consider a table weather containing a column city. suppose i have two rows with data in the city column as 'new delhi' and the second as 'new whatever'. so to select one row with say 'new delhi' i would give the following sql command SELECT * FROM weather WHERE city = 'new delhi';
what is the query if i want to select all rows with 'new' as a pat of the string in the city column? in this case both the above rows should be returned
thanks rahul.
