title: Having trouble with MySQL wildcard characters
body: <p>Im following the instructions on w3schools but something appears to not be working. I keep getting the result &quot;empty set&quot; even though it seems like multiple names should be returned since there is names that start with a,l and c.</p>
  <p>BTW I am using MySQL via the terminal on a mac. Thank you.</p>
