sql-like

Is there a good way to convert Regular Expression into LIKE inside a Function (MSSQL)? The sproc does not get more complicated than this: (country\=)(?<Country>[\w\d]+)(\&sessionid\=)(?<SessionId>.+) The groups will not be used in the LIKE, they are there for another purpose. I would like to use this inside a sproc late like: SELECT * FROM [Table] WHERE test_regex(regex, 'text') = 1 Where the regex is a part of [Table] It is possible to add Regular Expression parsing to SQL server, using a CLR function. This is possible from SQL 2005 and up. See here for a great example. I'd imagine SELECT ...

I want to find rows where a text column begins with a user given string, e.g. SELECT * FROM users WHERE name LIKE 'rob%' but "rob" is unvalidated user input. If the user writes a string containing a special pattern character like "rob_", it will match both "robert42" and "rob_the_man". I need to be sure that the string is matched literally, how would I do that? Do I need to handle the escaping on an application level or is it a more beautiful way? I'm using PostgreSQL 9.1 and go-pgsql for Go. The _ and % characters have to be quoted to be matched literally in a LIKE statement, there's no way

I do not understand this MySQL behaviour : if I want to display a\b, I can just select "a\\b" which work without problem : mysql> select "a\\b"; +-----+ | a\b | +-----+ | a\b | +-----+ 1 row in set (0.05 sec) But if I wnat to search a string containing a \ in a table using LIKE, I need to double-escape my "\". Why ? Here is an example. We prepare a small table. create table test ( test varchar(255) ); insert into test values ( "a\\b" ) , ( "a\\b\\c" ) , ( "abcd" ); mysql> select * from test; +-------+ | test | +-------+ | a\b | | a\b\c | | abcd | +-------+ 3 rows in set (0.05 sec) We try to

I would like to match this 'wildcard %' in MySQL. I tried using escape \% and it is not working. The default escape character is \ . So just prefix % with a \ as: \% : The manual clearly says: To test for literal instances of a wild-card character, precede it by the escape character. If you do not specify the ESCAPE character, “\” is assumed. Search for % in Stack%Overflow : mysql> select 'Stack%Overflow' like '%\%%'; +------------------------------+ | 'Stack%Overflow' like '%\%%' | +------------------------------+ | 1 | <----- Found +------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I have a store procedure which i have planned to use for search and get all values. Scenario: If the parameter passed is NULL it should return all the values of the table and if the parameter passed is not NULL it should return the values according to the condition which is in LIKE. //Query: ALTER procedure [dbo].[usp_GetAllCustomerDetails] ( @Keyword nvarchar(20) = null ) As Begin Select CustomerId,CustomerName,CustomerTypeName,CustomerCode,CategoryName,CustomerMobile,CustomerEmail,CustomerAddress,CustomerCity,CustomerState,Pincode from tblCustomerMaster CM inner join dbo

I have found this answer useful: Accent and case insensitive COLLATE equivalent in Oracle , but my question is regarding LIKE searching with a version 9 Oracle db. I have tried a query like this: SELECT column_name FROM table_name WHERE NLSSORT(column_name, 'NLS_SORT = Latin_AI') LIKE NLSSORT('%somethingInDB%', 'NLS_SORT = Latin_AI') but no results are ever returned. I created a little Java file to test: import org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource; import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.SQLException; import java.sql.PreparedStatement; import java.sql.ResultSet; public class

I want to implement some universal filter with Hibernate Criteria . It should work like LIKE operator from SQL: SELECT * FROM table WHERE table.ANYCOLOUMNHERE LIKE '%'||anyvaluehere||'%' I have Map<String, String> where key is a column name, and value is its value. I tried something like this: for (Entry<String, String> filter : filters.entrySet()) { crit.add(Restrictions.ilike(filter.getKey(), filter.getValue(), MatchMode.ANYWHERE)); } But when field type is not String , it causes java.lang.ClassCastException : [com.nsn.util.LoggerUtilerror] (http-localhost-127.0.0.1-8080-1) Error while

Using Sequel Pro, I have these two tables: Table1 Name Year x y John Smith 2010 10 12 Adam Jones 2010 8 13 John Smith 2011 7 15 Adam Jones 2011 9 14 etc. and Table2 Name Year z Smith John Smith John 2010 27 Jones Adam Jones Adam 2010 25 Smith John Smith John 2011 29 Jones Adam Jones Adam 2011 21 etc. Basically, the names in Table2 are the same only with the last name and first name switched, then repeated once. So the Names in Table1 are found in the names of Table2 ("John Smith" is found in "Smith John Smith John"). I want to perform an inner join and connect the z value of Table2 to the
