I am trying to write a simple search page that will search all the fields in a database to find all records that match a user input string. The string could happen anywhere in any of the fields. I have a dataset and can write a query but am unsure what the format is for this simple task. I figured it would look like this:
SELECT Table.*
FROM Table
WHERE * = @USERINPUT
But thats not working. Can someone help.? Thanks..
I apologize for the newbie sort of question, but I could not find an answer in an SQL book nor via Google.
I wish to search for a text string in ALL fields of a table. This will be used to provide a simple search box in a web application.
So far, the only method I've found to accomplish this is follows:
SELECT *
FROM Inventory
WHERE SerialNumber LIKE '%searchstring%' OR UserName LIKE '%searchstring%' OR Location LIKE '%searchstring%' ... etc
My goal is to accomplish something like the following. This, of course, does not execute properly since * can only be used following SELECT, but you can get an idea of the target behavior:
SELECT *
FROM Inventory
WHERE * LIKE '%searchstring%'
I'm using MSDE with Visual Basic .Net. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks for all help,

Hi,
I'm writing
small search engine for my page. I need SQL query that could do this:
Source:
tblColours
------------
Red
GreenRed
White Red
Yellow
Blue Green
Yellow RedF
Search
string: Red
Required
results:
Red
White Red
Yellow RedF
As you can
see I need all occurrences of word Red and word Red* but I don’t need *Red or
*Red* so I can't use LIKE %Red% :(.
P.S. Sorry
for my English.

I have a table that has these columns:
LinkID, LinkURL, TimesRedirected
I have a webpage that keeps track of the url's of where the users are coming from. When they redirect to the page, the page will:
If the url of the previous page isn't in the database, add it
Otherwise, add to the TimesRedirected column.
I have 2 tables.
Clients
Contacts (multiple contacts for one client)
I'm trying to do a search that pulls a contacts where the search matches either the First Name, last Name or the clients name. If it does return clients, I'd like it to also return all the contacts associated with it.
I have two problems:
1. The query is not bringing up a lot of clients. In many cases a letter brings nothing back. Like G and H even though A and B return results.
2. If it finds a client it only returns one contact. I'd like it to return all contacts for the client.
Here's my query:
SELECT addressbook.clientid, clients.clientname, addressbook.addressid, addressbook.fname, addressbook.lname FROM clients, addressbook where clients.clientid = addressbook.addressid
AND (addressbook.fname LIKE
'".strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%' OR addressbook.lname LIKE
'".strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%' OR clients.clientname LIKE
'" . strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%')

Hi, I'm trying to build a several tables using sql ce 3.1
I refer to the manual on Create Table:
ms-help://MS.SSCE.v31.EN/ssmprog3/html/143cad25-5c1d-4c96-bd8b-6a95dbfb1b00.htm
The sample:

just simply doesn't work displaying this error:
SQL Execution Error

I am using the query below. It works fine unless there is arecord in tbl_interested for a differnt user.In reality I am calling this query from the web. On the website I havean intersted dropdown with the choices All, interested, not interested.The website also has a reviewed dropdown with all, reviewed and notreviewed.I am using the query below as a starting point. my query works finewith one user, but if a user2 enters a record in tbl_intersted itthrows off the left join for user1. How can I fix this?SELECT COUNT(B.reviewed) AS review_count,Count(B.mls) as mls_count,A.mls,FROM mls.tbl_listings ALEFT OUTER JOIN mls.tbl_review B ON A.mls = B.mlsLEFT OUTER JOIN mls.tbl_interested D ON A.mls = D.mlswhere (B.reviewed = 'userid') and ((D.interested is null) or(D.interested = 'userid'))----My query works fine if there is one user, however once user2 reviews arecord from tbl_listing user1
View 2 Replies View Related...but apparently not me, I'm very new with this T-SQL stuff and am seeking the advice of the seasoned pros at this forum.
Description on my SQL-5 Environment:
Table I Sales: Prod_ID, Prod_DT, Sales_DT, Buyer_Name, Buyer_State
Table II Repairs: Prod_ID, Prod_DT, Sales_DT, Repair_DT
These 2 tables are joined by the common key Prod_ID & also and share the product's production & sales dates. What I would like to do is produce a rate summary similar to description below.
Production_YYYY, Production_MM, Sales_Cnt, Repairs_Cnt, Repair_Rate((Repairs_CNT/Sales_CNT)*100)
Important to remember that not all products experience repairs, so the basis for Sales_CNT needs to be the Sales Table, even thou Prod_DT also appears in Repairs Table.
It's simple enough for novice like me to produce 2 tables independently and then merge back those resulting tables into the single table output described above. But my question is how do I write a single SQL "SELECT" request that will produce the results into just a single table.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all,
I'm using SQL Server 2005 along side Visual Studio 2005, using VB to create a web application at work.
Now I'd like to bunch together some child fields in a gridview when displayed. Have a look at the attached pic to show what I would like.
Is this possible via a query or would I need to set something up on the gridview to do this?
Cheers,
Paul.
I have tableX with columns colA, colB, colC, colD and there are 2256 rows in the tableX.
I would like to find out the percentages of colA, colB, colC, colD that hold data (where it is not an empty string or NULL value).
So out of 2256 rows in the table, the user has stored data in colA 1987 times, colB 2250 times, colC 2256 times and colD 17 times.
So the report would say:
colA: 88.07%
colB: 99.73%
colC: 100%
colD: 0.01%
We have an application that has a bunch of fields that we believe are not being used and would like to remove them, but we need to prove this by looking at the data.
I know I could run a query, one at a time and change the column name, but this would take a long time as there are a lot of columns in this table. I am hoping there is some way to do this in one query.
Hi, Im trying to create a simple search page to return a list of products from a table in a sql database. Id like to be able to search a product description column in a table I have called products using the contents of a text box. I was wondering how i can go about getting the search to check for all words the user types in rather than just a single word or an exact phrase. Im currently using the following sql query
SELECT [product_title], [product_description] FROM [products] WHERE ([product_description] LIKE '%' + @product_search + '%')
this works fine for single words and exact phrases but if i had product called 'fred w bloggs' and i enter 'fred bloggs' it will not return anything.
Please could anyone suggest how i shoud go about this?
Im not sure if my web hosting company will enable full text search or will this be required?
Thanks for any help!

Hi all I need to implement a search function in Asp.net. Its nothing complicated, just find out whether a value exists in a particular table and return a boolean accordingly. However, the table has about 300,000 records. Is simply querying the table from the web (SELECT barcode FROM tblProducts where ID=123) the best way considering the releant column has been indexed.Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks

I've made a simple .net search page which queries an sql database with the following query, (in a stored procedure):
SELECT Category, Number, RegisteredUser, DeptName, Surname, Forename, Site, IDFROM tblTelephonesWHERE (@surname IS NULL OR Surname LIKE @surname) AND (@site IS NULL OR Site = @site) AND (@deptname IS NULL OR DeptName LIKE @deptname)
This works fine, as expected if i leave fields null or enter an exact match, but I (of course) have to add a wildcard in my search string for a wildcard search. For example, looking for 'duncan' i need to enter 'du%' or 'duncan'.
What I really want is for all searches to have wildcards behind them so only the first few characters need be inputted, and I could just search for 'd' or 'dun' without adding the '%' to get 'duncan'. I think I am aware of the implications of this approach and do want to go ahead as there are only about 850 records.
Any help or links to useful articles would really be greatly appreciated.
This question probably applies to Visual Web Developer but I don't know if it belongs in this Forum or that, sorry if you have to move it.
Hi there kind person reading this
I've created a stored procedure in SQL2000 that selects records where (name = @name) AND (site = @site). It works as I have tested it with Enterprise Manager.
I have also created a page with VWD that has a drop-down list populated with the site records and a text box. I have put an SQL data source on the page that is configured to select from the stored procedure. However, I can't set the @name and @site variables to collect from the ddl and txtbox through the wizard! I've tried selecting a Control as the source for @site but neither the ddl or txtbox appear in the control dropdown list. So I want to crack it with handwritten code.
Does anyone know of a post or article that can help me link the ddl and txtbox to a search button, which calls the stored procedure with the chosen variables allowing me to put the returned data into a gridview? I've been through a great walkthrough for VWD (Student Activities) but it doesn't seem to apply to the latest version - or there's something wrong with my (seems fine though) instalation. Thanks if you can help, I owe you a

Hello,
I have a search form in an ASP.NET/VB page. The form has the input text box and the button "search". The keywords are passed in the URL to results.aspx.
Here is an example of what I get in the URL, when I write the keywords "asp", "book" and "london" in the input text box and click "search":
results.aspx?search=asp%20book%20london
The database table has 3 fields: "id", "title" and "description".
I want to display all the records where at least one of the keywords is found in any of the 2 fields "title" and "description".
1. I suppose I need to get the words out of the URL to be used by SQL.
Maybe: string[] searchString = request.queryString("search").split('search'); ???
How can i make this run when page loads? I supose i need it. Right?
2. How should the SQL look? I supose i need to use the "Like" command
SELECT * FROM books WHERE title LIKE ...
But how to I use it if I can have 1, 2, 3, ... keywords?
Can someone help me?
Thanks,
