Sql select rows containing part of string

Question

I want to write a comparation procedure (t-sql) for site seo.

I have a table with field \'url\' (nvarchar()) that contain a part of site url\'s. Ex: \'mysyte.com

Answer 1

you can use CHARINDEX in t-sql.

select * from table where CHARINDEX(url, 'http://url.com/url?url...') > 0

Answer 2

SELECT *
FROM myTable
WHERE URL = LEFT('mysyte.com/?id=2&region=0&page=1', LEN(URL))

Or use CHARINDEX http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa258228(v=SQL.80).aspx

Answer 3

You can use the LIKE operator to compare the content of a T-SQL string, e.g.

SELECT * FROM [table] WHERE [field] LIKE '%stringtosearchfor%'.

The percent character '%' is a wild card- in this case it says return any records where [field] at least contains the value "stringtosearchfor".
