LIKE Question

#1

MySQL has this function, was wondering if this can be done with
Oracle.

Basically a query which uses the LIKE method, but is able to rank the
results in relevance, which ones match the most to the fewest??

You shouldn't assume any knowledge of MySQL in this forum.
You also should stop treating this forum and
news:comp.databases.oracle.server as a replacement for reading the
official Oracle documentation and as a free Oracle course.
You should post an example of the results of the LIKE function in
MySQL.
However, above all, you should stop being a bore!!!
