This is why one should use
metasynctactic variables:
"Say you want to select all the rows in table "foo" having a value in the varchar field "bar" beginning with a specific character from a particular range of characters, or beginning with any character not in that range if some wildcard character is specified..."
That way people don't get distracted talking about nonsense like "How many bands are there in the world" and suchlike - they remain focused on solving the specific problem for the abstract case.
