title: How to match one character in MySQL in place of %?
body: <p>In the following SQL:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM X WHERE Y LIKE "%s";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the <code>%</code> will match any characters before an <code>s</code>. The <code>%</code> can be <code>x</code>, <code>xx</code>, <code>xrf</code>, etc.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any symbol that will only match one character, like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM X WHERE Y LIKE "?s"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where <code>?</code> will match only one character like <code>a</code>, <code>b</code>, <code>c</code>, etc.?</p>
