SQL search multiple values in same field
Try this
Using UNION
$sql = '';
$count = 0;
foreach($search as $text)
{
if($count > 0)
$sql = $sql."UNION Select name From myTable WHERE Name LIKE '%$text%'";
else
$sql = $sql."Select name From myTable WHERE Name LIKE '%$text%'";
$count++;
}
Using WHERE IN
$comma_separated = "('" . implode("','", $search) . "')"; // ('1','2','3')
$sql = "Select name From myTable WHERE name IN ".$comma_separated ;
This will works perfectly in both cases, one or multiple fields searching multiple words.
Hope this will help someone. Thanks
declare @searchTrm varchar(MAX)='one two three four';
--select value from STRING_SPLIT(@searchTrm, ' ') where trim(value)<>''
select * from Bols
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT value
FROM STRING_SPLIT(@searchTrm, ' ')
WHERE
trim(value)<>''
and(
BolNumber like '%'+ value+'%'
or UserComment like '%'+ value+'%'
or RequesterId like '%'+ value+'%' )
)
Yes, you can use SQL IN
operator to search multiple absolute values:
SELECT name FROM products WHERE name IN ( 'Value1', 'Value2', ... );
If you want to use LIKE
you will need to use OR
instead:
SELECT name FROM products WHERE name LIKE '%Value1' OR name LIKE '%Value2';
Using AND
(as you tried) requires ALL conditions to be true, using OR
requires at least one to be true.
