Question

I’ve searched the web but I didn’t find the right answer for me.

I have 2 tables with columns ‘filename’ in both of them.
Table 1 – Column A would have a file name, for example: dad.txt
Table 2 – Column A would have the full path of the file, for example: C:\example\dad.txt

I would like to run a query that would check the filenames from table 1 against all of the values in table 2 – column A (with the full path) and would show a match.

Answer 1

Is it any problem if using “LIKE” syntax.

Try

WHERE table2.columnA LIKE CONCAT('%', table1.columnA)

Or try MATCH AGAINST syntax.
