title: basic sql query -- where prefix =
body: <p>So lets say I had a table of cars with attributes make and model.</p>
  
  <p>Now I want to query for all cars whose model starts with the letters 'Ex' </p>
  
  <p>so it would be some thing like</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT model FROM cars WHERE model = 'Ex'; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I guess that only returns cars whose entire model name is Ex, not whose model starts with Ex. What is the query I need here?</p>
  
  <p>I can't find any good resources that list basic queries such as this. Thanks!</p>
