Question

I have this query:

SELECT *
FROM
  (SELECT ' ' + REPLACE(Title,' ','  ') + ' ' AS Title
   FROM MyTable) t
WHERE Title LIKE '% Samsung %'
  AND Title LIKE '% Galaxy %'
  AND Title LIKE '% Axiom %'
  AND REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(Title,' Samsung ',''),' Galaxy ',''), ' Axiom ','') = ''

This query should search in MyTable field Title and dispay all rows which contain the words specified in LIKE.

I don’t get any error, but the Field Title contains a row with the following string ‘Samsung Galaxy Axiom R830’ and my query does not return it (and it should).

This was my original question, it worked for some records, but not for all SQL SELECT LIKE containing only specific words

Answer 1

You have spaces in the like. Perhaps you want something like:

WHERE (Title LIKE '% Samsung %' or title like '%Samsung' or title like 'Samsung%')
  AND (Title LIKE '% Galaxy %' or title like '%Galazy' or title like 'Galaxy%')
  AND (Title LIKE '% Axiom %' or title like '%Axiom' or title like 'Axiom%')
  AND replace(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(Title,'Samsung',''),'Galaxy',''), 'Axiom',''), ' ') = ''

Actually, as I think about it, I think the final replace is sufficient:

where replace(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(Title,'Samsung',''),'Galaxy',''), 'Axiom',''), ' ') = ''
