Question

I am trying to write a select statement that uses several keywords to search by. For example

SELECT id FROM my_mod mm WHERE (mm.name LIKE '%joe%' OR mm.name LIKE '%jim%');

What I would like to do is in the return data have a extra column that counts the number of times that row matches one of the like statements.

So for the one above if there is a name jimjoe it would have a count of 2 or if the name is jim it would have a count of 1. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

I should also mention that I can’t use temp tables.

Answer 1

Try this

select t.id,count(*) FROM
((select id from my_mod where name like '%jim%')
union all
(select id from my_mod where name like '%joe%')) t group by t.

I check here how it works
