Hello all I am trying to fetch data from my MYSQL database, but i am facing problem. My query is Select title, ref from algorithm where title like '_%test' order by DateTime DESC; Suppose I want to search a line which contains the word TEST and data in my database is This is test He is trying to test the application TEST of mathematics Now the problem is that the query only returns that row which has TEST as its last word, i-e this query will return the first row only coz the word TEST is at the end of the line. If i try to search the word TRYING, the query doesn't return any result.. plz help me out.
