How to Select Rows That Start With a Specified Letter in Flutter Using Moor

If you're developing applications with Flutter and using the Moor database library, you might find yourself needing to filter items by their starting letters. For instance, let's say you have a table called Items with a column named Name. You want to retrieve all items that start with "R2". The question arises: how do you write that query?

This guide provides a simple solution to this common problem. We'll break down how to properly query your SQLite database using Moor to achieve your goal effectively.

Understanding the Problem

You have a query that attempts to select items from the Items table that start with "R2". Here’s the incorrect line of code you might have used:

The query is currently ineffective because it's looking for names that exactly match "R2", rather than names that begin with "R2".

The Solution

To correctly filter rows, you need to use SQLite's wildcard capabilities. In SQL, the % symbol is used as a wildcard that matches any sequence of characters. To find all names starting with "R2", you should modify your query as follows:

Steps to Correct the Query:

Use the % wildcard: Change the string you're searching from 'R2' to 'R2%' to specify that you want all names that begin with "R2".

Update your query: Here’s how your new query should look:

Key Points to Remember:

Wildcard operator: Use % to match any characters following your specified starting string.

Proper filtering: Ensure that your filtering reflects the intention of starting letters, not exact matches.

Conclusion

Filtering rows in Flutter using Moor can be straightforward if you understand how to utilize SQLite's wildcard characters effectively. By appending a % symbol, you can easily query for items starting with specific letters.

With the adjusted code, you're now ready to retrieve any items that start with "R2". Happy coding!
