I would like to combine FirstName and LastName into one column called 'FULL NAME' and search with LIKE in SQL.
Example 1:
FirstName : Milan
LastName: PatelFullName: Milan Patel
Search with: Like '%SomeText%'
Example 2:
Title: " Meetings: A practical alternative to work."
Search: I would like to search the entire word within the give string. ex: work should return the above title.
Here is what I have so far.
SELECT
CE.Title, CC.FirstName + ' ' + CC.LastName AS FullName
FROM
EntryTable CE
JOIN
UserTable CC ON CE.EntryId = CC.USerId
WHERE
CC.FirstName LIKE 'n%'
EDIT
I am getting it there slowly. search is working fine with this query.
SELECT
CE.Title
FROM
EntryTable CE
JOIN
UserTable CC
ON
CE.EntryId = CC.USerId
WHERE
CC.FirstName + ' ' + CC.LastName LIKE 's%'
BUT it only search for name starting with 's', i would like to search name starting, ending, contains conditions as well. how can i go about that. please help
