I have a MySQL query: SELECT concat_ws(title,description) as concatenated HAVING concatenated LIKE '%SearchTerm%'; And my table is encoded utf8_general_ci with MyISAM. Searches seem to be case sensitive. I can't figure out how to fix it. What's going wrong and/or how do I fix it? Try this: SELECT LOWER(CONCAT_WS(title,description)) AS concatenated WHERE concatenated LIKE '%searchterm%' or (to let you see the difference) SELECT LOWER(CONCAT_WS(title,description)) AS concatenated WHERE concatenated LIKE LOWER('%SearchTerm%') A much better solution in terms of performance: SELECT .... FROM ....

I have been trying to get this working for quite a while now but it just doesn't seem to work, maybe it is is not even possible, what i am wanting to do is to perform a MySQL join query using like, such as this example i found... SELECT * FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.col LIKE '%' + Table2.col + '%' but it just doesn't seem to work at all, any help that can be given would be brilliant, thanks ! Try SELECT * FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.col LIKE CONCAT('%', Table2.col, '%') MySQL does string concatenation differently from other databases, so in case you want to port your

assume that we are performing search using keywords: keyword1, keyword2, keyword3 there are records in database with column "name": 1: John Doe 2: Samuel Doe 3: John Smith 4: Anna Smith now Query: SELECT * FROM users WHERE (name LIKE "%John%" OR name LIKE "%Doe%") it will select records: 1,2,3 (in this order) but i want to order it by keyword in example keyword1=John, keyword2=Doe so it should be listed by keywords: 1,3,2 (because i want to perform search for "Doe" after searching for "John") I was thinking about SELECT DISTINCT FROM (...... UNION .....) but it will be much easier to order it

Which one of the following queries is faster (LIKE vs CONTAINS)? SELECT * FROM table WHERE Column LIKE '%test%'; or SELECT * FROM table WHERE Contains(Column, "test"); The second (assuming you means CONTAINS , and actually put it in a valid query) should be faster, because it can use some form of index (in this case, a full text index). Of course, this form of query is only available if the column is in a full text index. If it isn't, then only the first form is available. The first query, using LIKE, will be unable to use an index, since it starts with a wildcard, so will always require a

I am attempting to use a parametrized LIKE query with Python's Sqlite library as below: self.cursor.execute("select string from stringtable where string like '%?%' and type = ?", (searchstr,type)) but the ? inside of the wildcard is not being evaluated leaving me with this error: "sqlite3.ProgrammingError: Incorrect number of bindings supplied. The current statement uses 1, and there are 2 supplied." I also tried to use the tagged version of querying with: like '%:searchstr%' and in the list having {"searchstr":searchstr... but when I do that the query runs but never returns any results even

Is there any way to compare strings in a C# LINQ expression similar to SQL's LIKE operator? Suppose I have a string list. On this list I want to search a string. In SQL, I could write: SELECT * FROM DischargePort WHERE PortName LIKE '%BALTIMORE%' Instead of the above, query want a linq syntax. using System.Text.RegularExpressions; … var regex = new Regex(sDischargePort, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); var sPortCode = Database.DischargePorts .Where(p => regex.IsMatch(p.PortName)) .Single().PortCode; My above LINQ syntax does not work. What have I got wrong? Typically you use String.StartsWith /

I have mysql table that has a column that stores xml as a string. I need to find all tuples where the xml column contains a given string of 6 characters. Nothing else matters--all I need to know is if this 6 character string is there or not. So it probably doesn't matter that the text is formatted as xml. Question: how can I search within mysql? ie SELECT * FROM items WHERE items.xml [contains the text '123456'] Is there a way I can use the LIKE operator to do this? You could probably use the LIKE clause to do some simple string matching: SELECT * FROM items WHERE items.xml LIKE '%123456%' If
