SQL Query to pull rows starting with a certain 3 digits

Question

I have a numbers column in my sql table and I want to pull all the numbers that start with 3 specific digits; how would I query this?

Answer 1

Use the "LIKE" query:

123 is the prefix. I think you have to store the numbers as strings though, just try it out on your data set :-)

 SELECT * from TableName Where ColumnName LIKE '123%'
