Re: SQL wildcard search

[MWalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Do you want to return records that have the word "mor" in all of the fields
or any one of the fields.

If it's all of the fields:

SELECT * FROM Mytable WHERE field1 LIKE '%MOR%' AND field2  LIKE '%MOR%'
AND field3 LIKE '%MOR%'

if it is any one of the fields:

SELECT * FROM Mytable WHERE field1 LIKE '%MOR%' OR field2  LIKE '%MOR%' OR
field3 LIKE '%MOR%'

Thanks,

Mark

I am sure my terminology is wrong, but I would like to use SQLRPGLE to
choose all of the records in a file that have a certain group of letters in
any one of three fields.

for example, select the records that have "mor" in Field1, Field2, or
Field3
  This would return records that had the words more, moron, Mort, mortgage,
amore, smores, or mortuary in any one of those three fields.

I tried Where Field1 like %mor%  and that appeared to work, but I can't
figure out how to and/or the clause to choose Field 2 & Field3.
