Write a query to find the names of students that begin with ‘A’

Description: Find all the students whose name starts with the letter A.

Tables: the exercises use the students (id, name, city, marks, course_id) and courses (id, course_name) tables, with the data from our MySQL INSERT chapter. The students are: Robin (Delhi, 85), Maria (Mumbai, 92), John (Pune, 78), Asha (Jaipur, 88), Vikram (Delhi, 65), Neha (Mumbai, 45).

Hint:

• Use LIKE 'A%'.
