I've got a persons name which is being stored say in 3 columns :- Title, Forename_1, Forename_2, Surname. I want to allow a search say for
'John Smith'. Problem is I can't just break it up into forename and
surname because I won't also know.
Is there a way to do something like a
'select * where forename_1,forename_2,surname like '%String%'   ??

SELECT * FROM table WHERE forename_1 || ' ' || forename_2 || ' ' ||
surname LIKE '%String%';

Thanks for the quick response. I've tried that and it works fine. Thanks a lot and thanks to Daq and Helder.
