I have a db that contains 6 similar columns: line_1, line_2 , line_3 , line_4 , line_5 , line_6 I want to have a search that searches across columns. While I can search them individually, it would be better if they were combined before the LIKE was done so that if I had: line_1="I need to" line_2="go to the bathroom" and I searched "need to go", it would return a hit.
I'm not sure how to approach this but while I have a beginning, I know that it is incorrect because it's the first type of search, searching each line individually. <cfquery name="getSearchItem" datasource="dpch"> SELECT recipients_lname,recipients_fname,recipients_mi,leaf_number FROM giving_leaves WHERE line_1 LIKE '#s#' OR line_2 LIKE '#s#' </cfquery> thanks for the help. -- Daniel Kessler Department of Public and Community Health University of Maryland Suite 2387 Valley Drive College Park, MD 20742-2611 301-405-2545 Phone www.phi.umd.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - CFDynamics http://www.cfdynamics.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:188552 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
