SQL Stored Procedure LIKE

Question

This is a simple question and I can\'t seem to think of a solution.

I have this defined in my stored procedure:

@communityDesc varchar(255) = NULL
         


        

Answer 1

You can do this by splitting your string using a split function provided here. The function returns a table having a single column which holds your tokens (i.e. 'aaa', 'bbb' ...).

Your query should look like this:

-- get the splits
SELECT Name INTO #someTemp
FROM dbo.splitstring(@communityDesc)

-- get data where area in within description
SELECT 1
FROM yourTable T
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM #someTemp tmp WHERE T.Area = tmp.Name)
