Mysql: Find rows where column value ends with a specific substring

Question

I have a column url where all the values are urls. I\'m trying to update the value of a different column where-ever the aforementioned url ends with .pdf

Answer 1

So it looks like you are looking for the like parameter.

for example:

SELECT column(s) FROM table WHERE URL LIKE '%.pdf'

Or you can update with

UPDATE table SET column = value, ..., WHERE URL LIKE '%.pdf'

The % is like saying anything before the .pdf is htis case.

Hope this helps.
