AW: SQL JOIN with LIKE -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi,

is your field fixed containing the like information or varying length?
If it's fixed, try to surround it with a TRIM:

From T1 join T2 like '%' concat TRIM(T2.PartFld) concat '%'

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: Re: SQL JOIN with LIKE

Thanks Dennis,

That's what I thought as well. But it only returns 11 rows which I know
isn't right, because I can query them individually using multiple like
statements and I'm seeing over 1000 rows when I do it that way.

Wouldn't this work:

SELECT ... FROM TABLE1 T1
JOIN TABLE2 T2 on T1.FIELD LIKE '%'||T2.PARTFIELD||'%'
