MySQL SELECT values with more than three words

问题

I currently have the following code

select *
FROM list
WHERE name LIKE '___'
ORDER BY name;

I am trying to get it so that it only shows names with three or more words. It only displays names with three characters I cannot seem to work out the correct syntax for this.

Any help is appreciated Thankyou

回答1:

If you assume that there are no double spaces, you can do:

WHERE name like '% % %'

To get names with three or more words.

If you can have double spaces (or other punctuation), then you are likely to want a regular expression. Something like:

WHERE name REGEXP '^[^ ]+[ ]+[^ ]+.*$'

I do believe what you are after is

SELECT *
FROM list
WHERE name LIKE '% % %'
ORDER BY name;

you can count number of words and then select those who are equal or greater then 3 words.

    SELECT * FROM list
    HAVING LENGTH(name) - LENGTH(REPLACE(name, ' ', ''))+1 >= 3
    ORDER BY name

*Even if you have multi spaces it will not affect here check this
