Look into MySQL Wildcards.
The correct MySQL Query for your search should be
WHERE tb_posts.post_content LIKE "%example.com%"
You should also be sure that you only target published posts (in contrast to nav_menu_items, revisions etc). Expand your WHERE with this:
AND tb_posts.post_type IN ('post','page',*All Posttypes you use additionally*) AND tb_posts.post_status="publish"
So your complete Query should look like this (assuming that you only use posts and pages):
UPDATE tb_posts
SET post_status="draft"
WHERE post_content LIKE "%example.com%"
AND post_type IN ('post','page')
AND post_status="publish"
Happy Coding!
