In MySQL, the `LIKE` operator can be used to perform pattern matching in queries. The operator allows the use of wildcard characters to match unknown or partial string values. This is especially useful in a blind SQL injection context when an attacker does not know the length or specific content of the data stored in the database. Wildcard Characters in LIKE: * **Percentage Sign** (`%`): This wildcard represents zero, one, or multiple characters. It can be used to match any sequence of characters. * **Underscore** (`_`): This wildcard represents a single character. It's used for more precise matching when you know the structure of the data but not the specific character at a particular position.

SELECT cust_code FROM customer WHERE cust_name LIKE 'k__l';
SELECT * FROM products WHERE product_name LIKE '%user_input%'
