Take a standard broad search query...:
DECLARE @sq Varchar(50) = 'Desperate'
SELECT *
FROM [UnbelievablyHotWomenOrAtLeastAcceptable] u
WHERE
u.Address LIKE '%' + @sq + '%' OR
u.City LIKE '%' + @sq + '%' OR
u.firstname LIKE '%' + @sq + '%' OR
u.Lastname LIKE '%' + @sq + '%' OR
u.Email LIKE '%' + @sq + '%' OR
u.Notes LIKE '%' + @sq + '%'
Is there a way to make that query less of a copy+paste effort?
Something along the lines of
...WHERE (u.Address OR u.City OR u.firstname OR u.Lastname OR u.Email OR u.Notes) LIKE '%' + @sq + '%'
I know if I use full text search, CONTAINS and CONTAINSTABLE offers me a syntax for querying all columns in the table, that ar开发者_开发技巧e in the full text catalog at once, but that is not what I am looking for.
You can create a view like:
CREATE VIEW dbo.UnbelievablyHotView
AS
SELECT id, Address as val FROM dbo.UnbelievablyHotWomen
UNION ALL
SELECT id, City as val FROM dbo.UnbelievablyHotWomen
UNION ALL
SELECT id, firstname as val FROM dbo.UnbelievablyHotWomen
UNION ALL
...
And then query on that with:
SELECT *
FROM UnbelievablyHotView
WHERE val like '%' + @sq + '%'
This would only save copy & paste if you do the query in multiple places.
Seems like the answer is "No".
SELECT *
FROM [UnbelievablyHotWomenOrAtLeastAcceptable] u
WHERE (
SELECT TOP 1 str
FROM (
SELECT Address AS Str
UNION ALL
SELECT City
UNION ALL
SELECT Firstname
UNION ALL
SELECT Lastname
UNION ALL
SELECT Email
UNION ALL
SELECT Notes
) q
WHERE str LIKE '%' + @sq + '%'
) IS NOT NULL
