SQL SELECT WHERE field contains words

Question

I require a SELECT command which will return the following to me:

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column1 CONTAINS 'w1 w2 w3'

And I need all of the results, so strings containing 'w2 w3 w1' or 'w1 w3 w2' or any other combination of the three are OK.

All words must appear in the final product.

Answer 1

Use this query to include any of words:

SELECT * FROM mytable
WHERE Column1 LIKE '%w1%'
   OR Column1 LIKE '%w2%'
   OR Column1 LIKE '%w3%'

If you require all words, use this:

SELECT * FROM Table
WHERE Column1 LIKE '%w1%'
  AND Column1 LIKE '%w2%'
  AND Column1 LIKE '%w3%'
