Exclamation SQL searching help
Hi,

I want to have an sql query that can search within a column, for a specific word, within a few lines of text.

ie: fruit: banana apple pear orange

search for apple, and that list is output


Using MS Access database

Forgive the fruit analogy. lol

Sorry not quite what i was looking for!

Needs to do this (back to the fruit again)

Search for apples

Database contains "shiny apples" "apples" "waxed apples" in seperate rows under the column.

Search results need to display all three results, as they all contain apple but aren't equal to apple.



Thanks for your quick response

select * from table where myfield like '%apple%'

This works in SQL server and I believe the % wildcard works with newer ADO versions. If not try using * as a wildcard.

This will also return applesauce and applecheeks, you'll have to do some more work to get it down to just the word apple
