# so the scenario is we have table called employees
# in employees table there is column called department 
# there are different departments are included in table
# now we want some department which we dont know how its spelled there so we are just
# trying to fetch the data in column which matched or containes 
# ex: word 'Clothing' is in stored in table but we dont know exactly how data spelled there
# so we try to match something like '% clo %'
# or 'C% thing %'

SELECT * FROM emploees  WHERE department like '% thing %';
# or 
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department like 'C% thing %';
#opening postgresql config file to enabling from local to everyone
#firt open this file on machine to make changes
sudo vi /etc/postgresql/12/main/postgresql.conf
#to quickly search on editor easily type as '/' & the type word to search 'listen_address'
/listen_address
#by default listen_addresses = 'localhost'
#so we are changing 'localhost' to '*' it means by placing the '*' any one can access.
listen_addresses = '*'
#now change one more config file called 'pg_hba.config' to give access, so open the file as below
sudo vi /etc/postgresql/12/main/pg_hba.conf

# add the line end of the file
