sql-like

I have SQL table with millions of domain name. But now when I search for let's say SELECT * FROM tblDomainResults WHERE domainName LIKE '%lifeis%' It takes more than 10 minutes to get the results. I tried indexing but that didn't help. What is the best way to store this millions of record and easily access these information in short period of time? There are about 50 million records and 5 column so far. Most likely, you tried a traditional index which cannot be used to optimize LIKE queries unless the pattern begins with a fixed string (e.g. 'lifeis%'). What you need for your query is a full

I have a List <string > of variable count, and I want to query (via LINQ) a table to find any items that contain any of those strings in the Text column. Tried this (doesn't work): items = from dbt in database.Items where (stringList.FindAll(s => dbt.Text.Contains(s)).Count > 0) select dbt; Query would be something like: select * from items where text like '%string1%' or text like '%string2%' Is this possible?

I am trying to execute the sql query: select * from table where column like '%value%'; But the data is saved as 'Value' ( V is capital ). When I execute this query i don't get any rows. How do i make the call such that, it looks for 'value' irrespective of the casing of the characters ? use LOWER Function in both (column and search word(s)). Doing it so, you assure that the even if in the query is something like %VaLuE%, it wont matter select qt.* from query_table qt where LOWER(column_name) LIKE LOWER('%vAlUe%'); If you want this column be case insensitive : ALTER TABLE `schema`.`table`

I have a DB with several fields word_id — INTEGER PRIMARY_KEY word — TEXT ... ..and ~150k rows. Since this is a dictionary, I'm searching for a word with mask 'search_string%' using LIKE. It used to work just fine, taking 15ms to find matching rows. The table has an index for a field 'word' . Recently I've modified the table (some fields of that table which are out of the scope) and something happened — it's taking 400ms to execute query, so I understand that as it fails to use index now. Straightforward query with = instead of like shows 10ms result. Does someone have an idea what's happening

i'm making a searcher for my site and this works fine with one word querys $consulta = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM recetas WHERE (titulo LIKE '%$busqueda%' OR intro LIKE '%$busqueda%' OR extra LIKE '%$busqueda%') ORDER BY id DESC"); But if i type 'two words' it doesn't give me result, $busqueda it's result from a <input/> given through $_POST['TERM'] any idea what i'm missing? SOLVED i was missing to encode the variable to URI... oops haha THANKS! Think of how your query will look at the end: Select ... where '%two words%. ... If you want to search for words like that, you'll have to massage

I have exactly the same requirement as in this thread. How to use JOIN LIKE with AND Operator in SQL Server? I have been clueless despite searching the net for hours. I have a table 'Filter' with column 'Value' and 2 records in it as 'Value1' and 'Value2' as varchar values. Select * From MasterTable Inner Join Filter ON MasterTable.Name LIKE '%' + Filter.Value + '%' This query means: Select * From MasterTable Where MasterTable.Name LIKE '%Value1%' OR MasterTable.Name LIKE '%Value2%' Now how can I change JOIN LIKE that means AND not OR? Something like: Select * From MasterTable Where
