How Do I Search For The Same Criteria In Three Or More Fields In One Table?

Jul 23, 2005

I am trying to create a query that will show me who is phoning who in an
organisation from available Telephone Billing information. I am creating a
MSAccess 2000 database with a few few tables, two of which are:

TableMembers: (containg fields Refs, DateCreated, MembershipNo,
OfficeLocation ...NB: Refs has a Primary Key - No Duplicates)
TablePeople: (containing fields: Refs, Name, Addr, TelHome, TelWork,
TelMobile & TelFax)
TableTelBills: (containing fields: Refs, TelNo, DateCalled, Duration,
TelType)

I am trying to create a query that will use a simple searching criteria eg.,

Like "*" [Enter the Tel No or part Tel No to search:] & "*"

to search all the Tel fields in the TablePeople and TableTelBills (TelHome,
TelWork, TelMobile, TelFax and TelNo) but am running in difficulties.

I start by creating a query and adding the tables TablePeople and
TableTelBills and TableMembers.
I use the Refs from the Table Members as a base criteria but do not know how
to create criteria that will search all Tel fields at once!

I would appreciate any and all help people!

Search Query Among All Fields In A Table

Jul 14, 2005

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,
Kieran

Query To Search All Fields In Simple Table

Mar 1, 2006

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..

Command With Several Search Criteria

Dec 4, 2013

I am very new to sql programming. I have a database with 15 columns. At this moment I do this to get all rows containing the year 2013:

WHERE DATEPART (yyyy, DownloadDate) = 2013 .

But I also want to add a criteria so that I can have all rows where DownloadDate contains 2013 AND WHERE IsRead(BIT) contains NULL. I tried this:

WHERE DATEPART(yyyy, DownloadDate) = 2013 AND IsRead = null .

But this gave me nothing!

Criteria Search Query

Jul 30, 2007

I have four criterias in my .aspx page. They are "First Name, Last Name, Title, Year". I have a Book and an Author table. The Author table would contain all the author's information and the Book table contains all the books information such as title, publisher, subject, and so on. So here's what I'm trying to do.

I want to write a transaction statement that will query the four criterias above if the criteria textbox is not black. So for example, when the user click the submit button, all the four criteria fields are filled except Year. That means the query would search the Author and Book tables for "First Name, Last Name, Title" but not "Year" for any potential matches. I also wanted to use "Like" instead of "=" for a wider search.


Actually I'm trying to create a store procedure that will accept those four criterias and search the tables based on those criterias.

Any help is appreciated.

Transact SQL :: Selection Criteria In DB1 - Need Fields In DB2

Sep 24, 2015

I need to query a table in Database 1 then, using a primary key, pull the columns from a table in Database 2.

The query I'm using in db_1 works:

SELECT * FROM db_1.table_1 WHERE  (hcpcs_cd = '20552' AND srvc_units_num>'1 ' AND claim_dos_yr >'2012') 

But what I really need are the columns associated with these records in db_2.table_1.  There is a primary key in both tables.

Ultimately what I need is all of the columns in db_2.table_1 and the hcpcs_cd, srvc_untis_num, and claim_dos_yr from db_1.table1

Output Search Criteria For Multiple OR?

Oct 21, 2014

My selection criteria is as follows:

where content like '%EditLiveJava%'
or content like '% Sys__%' ESCAPE '_'
or content like '%<div class="row"/>%'
or content like '%<a href="" title=""%'
or content like '%cmsprod%'
or content like '%Error processing inline link%'
or content like '%see log for stack trace%'

I output the content field if the search is true but would like to also output which specific 'like' has been found.

Can I do this in the one pass or do I have to read the database separately for each condition?

NO Records In Result Set When Non-alphanumerics Are Used In Search Criteria

Nov 5, 1999

I'm trying to figure out why I am not getting any result set back from a search that includes non-alphanumeric
or non-printable characters. For instance, if I have a table with a 20 character name column with names with
beginning ranges from A-Z, why doesn't the following return any rows:
select * from table where name < CHAR(126).
In the ASCII character set, 126 is a tilde (~) which is numerically above the alphanumeric ranges 1-9,a-z, and
A-Z. Shouldn't all records that sort lower in the character range be included in the result set ?

I'm assuming this has something to do with the default collation sequence being used which somehow does
not include characters outside the alphanumeric range. Any ideas ?

Search Query Through 3 Different Fields?

Dec 12, 2014

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'])."%')

Best Practice Question: JOIN Criteria Vs. WHERE Criteria

May 24, 2004

For example, consider the following queries:


DECLARE @SomeParam INT
SET @SomeParam = 44

SELECT *
FROM TableA A
JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID
WHERE B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam

SELECT *
FROM TableA A
JOIN TableB B ON A.PrimaryKeyID = B.ForeignKeyID AND B.SomeParamColumn = @SomeParam


Both of these queries return the same result set, but the first query filters the results in the WHERE clause whereas the the second query filters the results in the JOIN criteria. Once upon a time a DBA told me that I should always use the syntax of the first query (WHERE clause). Is there any truth to this, and if so, why?

Thanks.

Update Table Where It Matches Criteria From Another Table

Aug 20, 2007

I am trying to clean up an old database someone developed. I took the data and grouped the information that matched
I then imported it into a trips table. The matching data is all in the where statement. It shrunk 16k records for just under 2k records. Now I am trying to right a query to relate the 2 tables and update the tripid# to the triplist of people who actually attended.


Declare @Trip varchar(500)

Declare @Destination Varchar(500)

Declare @LeaveDate varchar(500)

Declare @LeaveTime Varchar(500)

Declare @ReturnDate varchar(500)

Declare @ReturnTime varchar(500)

Declare @Comment varchar(500)

Declare @RescheduleDate Varchar(500)

Declare @Rec int


Select @Rec = Rec# From Trips

Select @Trip = Trip from [Trips] where Trips.rec# = @Rec

Select @Destination = Destination from [Trips] where Trips.rec# = @Rec

Select @LeaveDate = LeaveDate from [Trips] where Trips.rec# = @Rec

Select @LeaveTime = LeaveTime from [Trips] where Trips.rec# = @Rec

Select @ReturnDate = ReturnDate from [Trips] where Trips.rec# = @Rec

Select @ReturnTime = ReturnTime from [Trips] where Trips.rec# = @Rec

Select @Comment = Comment from [Trips] where Trips.rec# = @Rec

Select @RescheduleDate = RescheduleDate from [Trips] where Trips.rec# = @Rec


Update TripList

SET tripid# = @Rec

WHERE (Trip = @Trip) and (Destination = @Destination) and (LeaveDate = @LeaveDate) and (LeaveTime = @LeaveTime) and (ReturnDate = @ReturnDate) and (ReturnTime = @ReturnTime) and (Comment = @Comment) and (RescheduleDate = @RescheduleDate)

SQL 2012 :: FullText Search - Can Search Terms Come From Another Table

Mar 25, 2015

I have a table that contains words that will be used to search another table where FullText index has been created on searchable columns. I'm basically trying to run something like this:

SELECT t1.col1, t2.col3
FROM tbl1 t1, tbl2 t2
WHERE CONTAINS (t1.col1, t2.col1)

I know this won't work but is there a way to join these two tables so the words (t2.col1) can be passed as search conditions? There is no common key on both tables so normal join won't work. I'm trying to find a way to pass the search words from one table to another.
