Question

I have a table with multiple words, from 1 to n.

declare @words table 
(
    word varchar(100) not null
)

insert into @words (word) values ('word1')
insert into @words (word) values ('word2')
insert into @words (word) values ('word3')

declare @tablea table 
(
    column1 varchar(100) not null
)

insert into @tablea (column1) values ('aword1a aword2a aword3a')
insert into @tablea (column1) values ('word2a')
insert into @tablea (column1) values ('word3a')

Im having trouble to write a query to select from a table where a column is like these words, and I need the AND operator. If the table contains word1, word2, word3, the like clause must match the three words, it means, I want to return the first row in tablea.

select *
from tablea
where
    column1 like ?

Updated:

select t.column1
from @tablea t
inner join @words w on charindex(w.word, t.column1) > 0
group by t.column1 
having count(distinct w.word) = (select count(*) from @words)
