SQL - 使用 AND 进行通配符搜索

Question

Below is the scenario.

We have a field named "Description", the requirement is:

1. User can give max 5 words to search the result. eg : ab and cd and ef and gh and ij
2. It will give that description which has all the above 5 words in it.

Can anyone please tell me how can this be accomplished.

Any guidance will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards, Aarti

Answer 1

select description from tablename where 
description like '%word1%' and
description like '%word2%' and
description like '%word3%' and
description like '%word4%' and
description like '%word5%'

....(description like '%word2%' or word2 is null) and...
