1 Select id from user where UserRole.Name LIKE ' %Dir%'

 

2 Select id from user where UserRole.Name LIKE ' Dir%'

 

3 Select id from user where UserRole.Name LIKE ' Dir_%'

Thanks Anil.B, your reply is very useful.

I share my Knowledge:

 

1  select id, firstname, lastname  from lead where lastname like 'Smith%'

 

Will match all last names starting with Smith.

 

2  select id, firstname, lastname  from lead where lastname like 'Smith_'

 

Will match all last names starting with Smith up to 1 additional character

 

 

3  Like 'appl_%'

matches Appleton, Apple, and Bappl , but not Appl

 

4 Contact.Account.Name LIKE '%Apple%' , '%Pear%'

Accounts that contain "Apple" and "Pear".

You can also exclude terms from your query like this:

 

and ( not email like '%test.com%')

 

**note: you have to use the brackets for this to work.
