Use server-level IP firewall rules for administrators. This practice enhances security and makes your database more portable. We recommend that you use database-level IP firewall rules whenever possible. Recommendations for how to set firewall rules For more information about configuring database-level IP firewall rules, see the example later in this article and see sp_set_database_firewall_rule (Azure SQL Database).

The default value is up to 256 database-level IP firewall rules for a database.

If you specify an IP address range in the database-level IP firewall rule that's outside the range in the server-level IP firewall rule, only those clients that have IP addresses in the database-level range can access the database.

You can only create and manage database-level IP firewall rules for master and user databases by using Transact-SQL statements and only after you configure the first server-level firewall.

You create the rules for each database (including the master database), and they're stored in the individual database. Database-level IP firewall rulesĭatabase-level IP firewall rules enable clients to access certain (secure) databases. That’s all for SQL like operator and SQL not like operator examples.By default, during creation of a new logical SQL server from the Azure portal, the Allow Azure Services and resources to access this server setting is set to No. SELECT CustomerName FROM Customer WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'Am%' OR CustomerName LIKE 'Jo%' For example, if we want a list of customer names starting from ‘Jo’ and ‘Am’ then we will have to use multiple like statements like below. We can have multiple like statements in SQL query. SELECT CustomerName FROM Customer WHERE CustomerName NOT LIKE 'A%' Below query will give us the required result set. UPDATE table_name SET column=value WHERE column NOT LIKE pattern ĭELETE FROM table_name WHERE column NOT LIKE pattern Īs an example, let’s say we want the list of customer names that don’t start with ‘A’.

SELECT column FROM table_name WHERE column NOT LIKE pattern SQL not like statement syntax will be like below. In that case we can use sql not like operator. Sometimes we want to get records that doesn’t match the like pattern. SELECT CustomerName FROM Customer WHERE CustomerName LIKE '_i%t' SELECT CustomerName FROM Customer WHERE CustomerName LIKE '_n%'įind customer name with name containing ‘i’ at third position and ending with ‘t’. SELECT CustomerName FROM Customer WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%n%'įind customer name with name containing ‘n’ at second position.

SELECT CustomerName FROM Customer WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'A%t'įind customer name with name containing ‘n’ at any position. SELECT CustomerName FROM Customer WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%e'įind customer name with name starting with ‘A’ and ending with ‘t’. SELECT CustomerName FROM Customer WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'A%' įind customer name with name ending with ‘e’. Consider the following Customer table for the example.įind customer name with name starting with ‘A’. Let’s try to understand the usage of SQL LIKE statement along with wildcards by some examples. In the sql like syntax mentioned above the “pattern” is the one that is defined by the usage of wildcards. UPDATE table_name SET column=value WHERE column LIKE pattern ĭELETE FROM table_name WHERE column LIKE pattern SELECT column FROM table_name WHERE column LIKE pattern So we can use it with Select, Delete, Update etc. SQL Like operator can be used with any query with where clause. To use SQL LIKE operator, we must be very sure of the usage of the wildcard position as that will define the search pattern. _: The underscore is used for representation of a single character.%: Percentage is used for representation of single, multiple or no occurrence.There are two wildcards that are used with the LIKE operator. Wildcards are the one which is used for specifying the pattern. SQL LIKE is used with WHERE clause to search for a pattern for a column.
