We will discuss the PATINDEX function, which finds the starting position of a pattern within a string, similar to the INDEX function but with wildcard character support.
We demonstrated its use with an example. Given a table named Educate with columns like sales, name, date, product ID, region, and state, we wanted to find the position of a pattern ending with "teach" in the 'region' column. By using PATINDEX with wildcard characters, we found the positions where "teach" appears.
In summary, the PATINDEX function is useful for locating characters within strings using wildcard patterns. Thank you for watching Educate Cube. Please like, share, and subscribe to our channel.
