Wildcard Search - Column Value Containing % Character
May 8, 2006Hi All,
I have a company table with CompanyName and Address details.
In the Company Name field - I have got companies with names like - 'The 1% Club', '99% Pure Water', 'The 1% Golfer' etc...
I want to search for Companies with % using the LIKE clause - Say for ex.
SELECT CompanyName from Company WHERE CompanyName LIKE 'The 1%%'
I was expecting the above query to return - All Companies starting with 'The 1%' - So from the above list - I expected it to return - 'The 1% Club' and 'The 1% Golfer'.
Unfortunately the query isn;t accepting % in the WHERE LIKE clause except for the wildcard character.
Is there a way out to escape the Wildcard Characters present in the Field Values while searching.
Thanks,

Wildcard In Simple Sql Search.
Mar 30, 2005I'm very new to SQL so please forgive my ignorance...
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.
WildCard (%) Search Issue
Dec 15, 2005Hi all, I am currently using SQL Server 2000and am having some issues when searching a CHAR column and using the WildCard character '%'. The problem is that when I use this WildCard character, the results returned (if any!) are incorrect. For example, I know that there are many rows in the DB that have the following data in a column, 'ABERYSTWYTH CEREDIGION', but when I using the following SQL...'(WHERE (UPPER(AddrLine3) = 'ABERYSTWYTH%')' I get no results returned.Is there a known issue with the WildCard character in SQL Server 2000?ThanksTryst

Full Text Search(Using Wildcard)...
Jul 25, 2000Hi,
I have a doubt about using a wildcar(% or *).
Can we use the the wildcard in query in the following way...
Select name from abcd where
(name like'%moh%'or name like '%raj%'or name like '%san%')
Is it allowed to use the wildcard at the biginning of the string. If any one says yes :Using the full text search is it possible to improve the query performance.
I thinking of that it is not allowed to use the wildcard at the beginning of the string.
Your comments and recommendation will be highly appreciated...
Thanks,
Mohammed.
Full-text Search And Wildcard
Feb 1, 2004hello,
i want to search for "any phrase here*" where i want it to match the exact same phrase and followed by anything. but the problem is that when using the following syntax: contains(myTbl,'"my phrase here*"') i will get results like "my123 phrases here" so the wildcard will be applied to the consecutive words and not the last word.
How can i search for an exact phrase followed by anything?
ps: i cant omit the wildcard becoz the last word is not exact
so treating the space as any other character and not as a seperator in the search_expression may be a solution but how to do it
Thanks

Problems With Full Text Search With Wildcard And CONTAINS Operator, Help Please
Nov 26, 2007
Hi there,
I am trying to get the do a full text search using the CONTAINS operator and the asterisk wildcard prefix and apparently it is returning inconsistent results. I have a full-text enabled table named Content which contains an AutoId field with a clustering index built on it, a column named ContTitle which is fulltext indexed and a couple of other columns. The fulltext catalog has been fully populated.
When I perform this sample query:
SELECT AutoId, ContTitle FROM [Content] WHERE CONTAINS(ContTitle, ' "Live Band From Colombia" '),
it returns me a row, however when i change the sample query to include the asterisk wildcard behind the search phrase:
SELECT AutoId, ContTitle FROM [Content] WHERE CONTAINS(ContTitle, ' "Live Band From Colombia*" '),
it returns no rows.
I tried the to change the search phrase to "Excellence Service Award", for e.g.
SELECT AutoId, ContTitle FROM [Content] WHERE CONTAINS(ContTitle, ' "Excellence Service Award" '),
and
SELECT AutoId, ContTitle FROM [Content] WHERE CONTAINS(ContTitle, ' "Excellence Service Award*" '),
both queries will return rows with the content title Excellence Service Award
Does anyone know if I'm missing out on any anything, like the full text indexed is not populated correctly for e.g? It's just weird that the same kind of search will work on some rows and not for the rest. Thank you very much.
Transact SQL :: Create Search With Boolean Logic And Wildcard Characters
Jun 15, 2015I am developing for a customer and they want a search facility that uses boolean logic and special characters. So they want to be able to add "AND" "OR" "NOT" "*" and "?". And for this to effect the search in the predicted way and ranked. I was wondering if there is any examples of this type of search implemented?
View 3 Replies View RelatedFull-text Search On Encrypted XML Datatype
May 25, 2007That's right. My developers want full-text searching implemented on an encrypted XML datatype...on SQL Server Express, no less.
Whether this can be done seems to boil down to four questions:
1) Can the XML datatype be encrypted?
2) Can the XML datatype be full-text indexed?
3) Can encrypted data be full-text indexed?
4) Can encrypted XML data be full-text indexed?
So I'm diving into the documentation now, but if anybody out there already knows whether the answer to any of these questions is "No", please save me some time.
Oh, and they also want to substitute potato nuggets for fries, and biggie-size the whole thing.

MAC Used As Search Index For Encrypted Data: How Secure?
Aug 17, 2006I have read recommendations about searching encrypted data. Typically, they involve creating a MAC (message authentication code) table. One of the elements of that table is a HASH of the encrypted data (plus a Mac key) that is used as an index for searching. Is that HASH as secure as the encrypted data itself, or is this approach less secure? If it is less secure, then may I assume that approach is the only feasible way to search data encrypted by nondeterministic algorithms?
TIA,

Copy Database With Encrypted Column To New Server And Decrypt Column There
Aug 17, 2006To do this successfully do I need to backup the Service master, Database master, and database itself from the the Source server, then restore all three of them on the destination server?
(I'm concerned that restoring the source Service Master key to a new target server with an existing sql 2005 install will screw things up big time.)

SQL 2012 :: Using Wildcard With Date Column
Jul 28, 2015I was looking for a way to use a wild card on a date column, but could only convert the file first then use the wildcard Is there another way of conducting the wild card search on a date column without conducting a conversion on the specified column? Sybase has the ability to use a wildcard on the datetime column so I would assume SQL SERVER does too.... Right? I can see that there are some workaround to get the information I need . I have conducted multiple searches and I still cannot find a suitable answer. Anyway, below is some links where I received some of the information:

SQL Server 2008 :: Comparing A Column Between Two Tables With A Wildcard?
Aug 9, 2015I have a table containing records of criminal convictions. There are over 1M records and the only change is additions to the table on a monthly basis. The two columns I need to deal with are convicted.NAME and convicted.DOB
I have a second table that has 2 columns. One is the name of the defendant and the other is the birth date. This would be monitor.NAME and monitor.DOB
There are no primary keys or any other way to join the tables for this search I want to do.
I would like to be able to put a name in the "monitor" table and run a query to see if there is a match in the convicted table.
The problem I am having is middle initials or names. If I want to monitor.name = 'SMITH JOHN' it will return the results fine. The problem I am having is if the conviction is in the database as 'SMITH JOHN T', or 'SMITH JOHN THOMAS'.
How can I use the monitor table with a 'LASTNAME FIRSTNAME' and return results if the convicted table has a middle initial. I tried with a JOIN:
select distinct convicted.*
from convicted
join monitor
on monitor.name like convicted.defendant
and monitor.birthdate = convicted.dob
Joing 2 Tables On An Encrypted Column
Mar 18, 2008Hi all,
I am trying to join 2 tables in my database on an encrypted column. I am using a symmetric encryption, but because of the IV, a string encrypted at 2 different times produces 2 different encrypted strings. Therefore, I can not merely join the 2 tables on the encrypted columns. Has anyone any insight on techniques for solving this problem? The most naïve way, would be to decrypt both tables, join them, and re-encrypt them again. But, the tables are quite large, and this would be very processor (and time) intensive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Problem Restoring Database With Encrypted Columns To Different Database Or Server With Encrypted Columns.
Jan 23, 2006I need to start encrypting several fields in a database and have been doing some testing with a test database first. I've run into problems when attempting to restore the database on either the same server (but different database) or to a separate server.
First, here's how i created the symmetric key and encrypted data in the original database:
create master key
encryption by password = 'testAppleA3';
create certificate test
with subject = 'test certificate',
EXPIRY_DATE = '1/1/2010';
create symmetric key sk_Test
with algorithm = triple_des
encryption by certificate test;
open symmetric key sk_Test decryption by certificate test;
insert into employees values (101,'Jane Doe',encryptbykey(key_guid('sk_Test'),'$200000'));
insert into employees values(102,'Bob Jones',encryptbykey(key_guid('sk_Test'),'$500000'));
select * from employees
--delete from employees
select id,name,cast(decryptbykey(salary) as varchar(10)) as salary from employees
close all symmetric keys
Next I backup up this test database and restore it to a new database on a different server (same issue if restore to different database but on same server).
Then if i attempt to open the key in the new database and decrypt:
open symmetric key sk_Test decryption by certificate test;
I get the error: An error occurred during decryption.
Ok, well not unexpected, so reading the forums, i try doing the below first in the new database:
ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY
Then I try opening the key again and get the error again:
An error occurred during decryption.
So then it occurs to me, maybe i need to drop and recreate it so i do
drop symmetric key sk_test
then
create symmetric key sk_Test
with algorithm = triple_des
encryption by certificate test;
and then try to open it.
Same error!
So then i decide, let's drop everything, the master key, the certificate and then symmetric key:
drop symmetric key sk_test
drop certificate test
drop master key
Then recreate the master key:
create master key
encryption by password = 'testAppleA3';
Restore the certificate from a backup i had made to a file:
CREATE CERTIFICATE test
FROM FILE = 'c:storedcertsencryptiontestcert'
Recreate the symmetric key again:
create symmetric key sk_Test
with algorithm = triple_des
encryption by certificate test;
And now open the key only to get the error:
Cannot decrypt or encrypt using the specified certificate, either because it has no private key or because the password provided for the private key is incorrect.
So what am I doing wrong here? In this scenario I would appear to have lost all access to decrypt the data in the database despite restoring from a backup which restored the symmetric key and certificate and i obviously know the password for the master key.
I also tried running the command
ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY
again but this does not resolve the issue.
Thx.
SQL 2000 MS Search: Boolean Search Doesn't Work When Search By Phrase
Aug 9, 2006I'm just wonder if this is a bug in MS Search or am I doing something wrong.
I have a query below
declare @search_clause varchar(255)
set @Search_Clause = ' "hepatitis b" and "hepatocellular carcinoma"'
select * from results
where contains(finding,@search_clause)
I don't get the correct result at all.
If I change my search_clause to "hepatitis" and "hepatocellular carcinoma -- without the "b"
then i get the correct result.
It seems MS Search doesn't like the phrase contain one letter or some sort or is it a know bug?
Anyone know?
Thanks

Search For A Column With Certain String
Oct 1, 2013I have access to a database's web front end and a limited amount of access to the server.
I am trying to find out what column a certain string is in.
I can see some text on the front end via the web that a user enters and then submits. This information must go to the back end of the database but I dont know where it goes...
I am able to provide a unique Sequence number that it would be linked with and obviously I have the string that im looking for its column name but other then that I dont know what I can do.
I don't have write access to the database so I am unable to make procedures. I am also not really aware how the front end works or if I would be able to find the script that deals with the text after the user hits "save"...
