From time to time you will want to search within your database for specific information. Quite often this information would be a name or descriptor of some shape or form, but what if you want to search on a symbol?

More specifically a symbol that is also used as a wild-card, a lot of people have pulled their hair out on that one because as soon as you use the "%" (percentage symbol) or "_" (underscore symbol) your stumped due to them being reserved symbols for the like clause.

Well worry no further, this video will explain the way to tell that pesky symbols to be a symbols to search on rather than symbols for searching with.

This is one of many videos which can be seen at PCTeach.me. Come join the gang!
