I am trying to do a query with a partial search but don't know the
syntax.  eg. I want the word 'buff' to find 'buffalo' in the variable
'city'.  Can anyone give me an example?

Cheers,

Derek

select * from table where city like '%buff%';

or case insensitive:

select * from table where city ~* 'buff';
