Question

I would like to know if its possible to search on two combined columns. For instance in my application I have an input field for ‘Full Name’, but in the SQL Database I have columns Name, Surname.

Is it possible to construct a query to do a search like Name + Surname = %Full Name% ?

Answer 1

You can do this:

select  *
from Production.Product
where (Name + ' ' + ProductNumber) like 'Bearing Ball BA-8327'

However, if you want to take advantage of indexing, you better split you your input parameter first and then use direct field comparison.
