I am working on a rather large database project, in which I am making a text column
that contains different data, seperated by commas. What I need to do is run a query
where I will return only the datasets that contain any of sets that partially, or
fully match any data in the set...
For example, if the dataset contains:
dark, black, small
I want to be able to return this data if the query contains ran contains any of the
following matches:
dark
black
small
sma
bla
...etc...
I do not, however, want a full LIKE search with wildcards, because I do not want to
return the set if they were to search on 'all' (which would match smALL).
Is there an easy way to do this, or am I forced into matching entire words in a set?
I appreciate any help anyone could offer me... Thank you...
John
