Question

Answer 1

You're currently matching on: ..where 'Name' like '%es%'.

Which equates to anything, then 'es' then anything else.

Removing the last % changes the where to anything then 'es'.

in short.. you need ..where 'Name' like '%es'

Answer 2

The query ..where 'Name' like '%es' will find columns where name ends with "ES". But if we need to find column where name ends with either "E" or "S", the query would be

.. where 'Name' LIKE '%[ES]'

Answer 3

1. if you want to find name start with something like 'test' use => select name from table where name like 'test%'.
2. if you want to find name end with something like 'test' use => select name from table where name like '%test'.
3. if you want to find name start with s and end with h use => select name from table where name like 's%'and name like '%h' or simply select name from table where name like 's%h'.

Answer 4

You have to remove the last %, so it will only select words ending with es.

select * from table where Name like '%es'

Answer 5

You can also use REGEX

select distinct city from station where city REGEXP '[aeiou]$';
