Howdy, Raju.

Could you please provide a more concrete example of what you need?

What information would you like your query to return exactly?
An ordered set of records? Ordered by rank...? Please give an example of a search operation and intended result

Best,
Oliveiros

Subject: [SQL] Search fields in multiple tables


Hi,

I have some information about books spread over multiple tables (title, authors, ISBN, blurb, publisher, etc.) Is there any convenient way in PostgreSQL to allow a user to search these in a single operation?

If there is, would there be some way to assign weights to the fields? E.g. a match on title would rate higher than a match on publisher or on blurb.

Regards,

-- Raju
