  2. Wildcard character - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_character

    In SQL, wildcard characters can be used in LIKE expressions; the percent sign % matches zero or more characters, and underscore _ a single character. Transact-SQL also supports square brackets ([and ]) to list sets and ranges of characters to match, a leading caret ^ negates the set and matches only a character not within the list.

  3. Where (SQL) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_(SQL)

    A WHERE clause in SQL specifies that a SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) statement should only affect rows that meet specified criteria. The criteria are expressed in the form of predicates. WHERE clauses are not mandatory clauses of SQL DML statements, but can be used to limit the number of rows affected by a SQL DML statement or returned ...

  4. Matching wildcards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_wildcards

    In computer science, an algorithm for matching wildcards (also known as globbing) is useful in comparing text strings that may contain wildcard syntax. [1] Common uses of these algorithms include command-line interfaces, e.g. the Bourne shell [2] or Microsoft Windows command-line [3] or text editor or file manager, as well as the interfaces for some search engines [4] and databases.

    Double tilde (~~ or ≈) may refer to: . Approximation ≈; Double negation ~(~x); Smart match operator in Perl, ~~; In PostgreSQL the operator ~~ is equivalent to LIKE; In certain programming languages, ~ transforms a value into an integer and takes its complement, and so ~~ (sometimes called 'two tildes' to indicate a form of double negation) is a way to transform a value into an integer.

  6. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    The wildcard pattern (often written as _) is also simple: like a variable name, it matches any value, but does not bind the value to any name. Algorithms for matching wildcards in simple string-matching situations have been developed in a number of recursive and non-recursive varieties. [11]

  7. Asterisk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterisk

    This is also known as a wildcard symbol. A common use of the wildcard is in searching for files on a computer. For instance, if a user wished to find a document called Document 1, search terms such as Doc* and D*ment* would return this file. Due to being a wildcard, they could also return files like Document 2 and (only the latter) Dark Knight ...

  8. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    More generally, an equation E=F between regular-expression terms with variables holds if, and only if, its instantiation with different variables replaced by different symbol constants holds. [30] [31] Every regular expression can be written solely in terms of the Kleene star and set unions over finite words. This is a surprisingly difficult ...
