### Description
A LIKE predicate is used to search for a specific pattern.
### Syntax
```sql
[ NOT ] { LIKE search_pattern [ ESCAPE esc_char ] | [ RLIKE | REGEXP ] regex_pattern }
```
### Parameters
* **search_pattern**
Specifies a string pattern to be searched by the `LIKE` clause. It can contain special pattern-matching characters:
* `%` matches zero or more characters.
* `_` matches exactly one character.
* **esc_char**
Specifies the escape character. The default escape character is `\`.
* **regex_pattern**
Specifies a regular expression search pattern to be searched by the `RLIKE` or `REGEXP` clause.
### Examples
```sql
CREATE TABLE person (id INT, name STRING, age INT);
INSERT INTO person VALUES
(100, 'John', 30),
(200, 'Mary', NULL),
(300, 'Mike', 80),
(400, 'Dan', 50),
(500, 'Evan_w', 16);
SELECT * FROM person WHERE name LIKE 'M%';
+---+----+----+
| id|name| age|
+---+----+----+
