Compare Columns Where One is Similar to Part of Another

Question

I\'m trying to write a Select statement where I can see if one column is like part of another.

tblNames 
ID    FullName                   FirstName
1     Mr.         


        

Answer 1

Switch the arguments to LIKE in the WHERE clause:

SELECT ID, FullName, FirstName
FROM tblNames
WHERE Fullname not like '%' + FirstName + '%'

The wildcard must be the second argument.
