  • 0

If I have a column that is Address1 and Address2 in my database, how do I combine those columns so that I could perform operations on it only in my select statement, I will still leave them separate in the database. I would like to be able to do this

WHERE completeaddress LIKE '%searchstring%'

Where completedaddress is the combination of Address1 and Address2. searchstring would be like the data they searched for. So if they had ‘123 Center St’ in Address1 and ‘Apt 3B’ in Address2, how would I have it select it if the searchstring was ‘Center St 3B’ Is this possible with SQL?

    I think this is what you are looking for –

    select Address1+Address2 as CompleteAddress from YourTable
where Address1+Address2 like '%YourSearchString%'

    To prevent a compound word being created when we append address1 with address2, you can use this – 

    select Address1 + ' ' + Address2 as CompleteAddress from YourTable 
where Address1 + ' ' + Address2 like '%YourSearchString%'

    So, ‘123 Center St’ and ‘Apt 3B’ will not be ‘123 Center StApt 3B’ but will be ‘123 Center St Apt 3B’.
