MySql select string minus one charracter
Hi,
For example: I have a word like "GoodDay" that i want to search in the DB, but in the DB there is a word "Good_Day"...
Is there a function in MySql to check this word but tell it to ignore the"_" ?
Something like: SELECT text FROM db_name WHERE ingnore(text , '_') = 'GoodDay'
P.S. Beside using the %% or LIKE function
Hummmm.....
