I've been racking my brain on how to do this for a while, and i know that some genius on this site will have the answer. Basically i'm trying to do this:
SELECT column
FROM table
WHERE [table].[column] LIKE string1
OR [table].[column] LIKE string2
OR [table].[column] LIKE string3...
for a list of search strings stored in a column of a table. Obviously I can't do a like statement for each string by hand because i want the table to be dynamic.
Any suggestions would be great. :D
EDIT:
I'm using MSSQL 开发者_运维百科:(
Put the parameters (string1, string2, string3...) into a table (Params
) then JOIN
to the table using LIKE
the JOIN
clause e.g.
SELECT column
FROM table AS T1
INNER JOIN Params AS P1
ON T1.column LIKE '%' + P1.param + '%';
Make a sample Table_1:
id Name
1 Fred
2 Joe
3 Frederick
4 Joseph
5 Kenneth
To find all the Freds and Jos you code
SELECT
*
FROM
Table_1
WHERE
name like 'Fred%' OR
name like 'Jo%'
What you'd like is a dynamic WHERE. You can achieve this by putting the wildcards in Table_2:
id Search
1 Fred%
2 Jo%
and performing the LIKE with an INNER JOIN:
SELECT
*
FROM
Table_1 INNER JOIN Table_2
ON Table_1.name LIKE Table_2.search
Result:
id Name id Search
1 Fred 1 Fred%
3 Frederick 1 Fred%
2 Joe 2 Jo%
4 Joseph 2 Jo%
Sounds like you are trying to do a fulltext search. MySQL has a tool for this:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/fulltext-boolean.html
SELECT column FROM table MATCH (column) AGAINST ('string1 string2 string3' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
In case of MSSQL some information is available at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc879300.aspx
SELECT column FROM table WHERE CONTAINS (column , 'string1 string2 string3');
