SQL LIKE wildcard space character

Question

let\'s say I have a string in which the words are separated by 1 or more spaces and I want to use that string in and SQL LIKE condition. How do I make my SQL and tell it to

Answer 1

I think that the question is not asking to match any spaces but to match two strings one a pattern and the other with wrong number of spaces because of typos.

In my case I have to check two fields from different tables one preloaded and the other filled typed by users so sometimes they don't respect 100% the pattern.

The solution was to use LIKE in the join

   Select table1.field
    from table1
    left join table2 on table1.field like('%' + replace(table2.field,' ','%')+'%')
