As an alternative, you could use the LIKE operator[^].

Read about the regular expression syntax for your SQL server (e.g. MySQL :: MySQL 5.5 Reference Manual :: 12.5.2 Regular Expressions[^] for MySQL).

In general, something like ^a.*e$ should work (^ = begin of string, . = any character, * = zero or more times, $ = end of string).

In your case you might also use a LIKE expression:

SQL

WHERE Name LIKE 'a%e'
