SQL SERVER Query Formation on matchin field data

Question

I have two tables. I need a certain output.

Table1
======================
| PropertyID | Name  |
+------------+-------+
| 1          | Pants |
+------------+-------+
| 2          | Dress |
+------------+-------+

Table2
===============
| Description |
+-------------+
| 2-Pants     |
+-------------+
| 1-Dress     |
+-------------+
| Dress       |
+-------------+

Output
==============
| PropertyID |
+------------+
| 1          |
+------------+
| 2          |
+------------+
| 2          |
+------------+

Now I need the ProperyID where Name matches the Description field of Table2 . It does not have to be an exact match. Like "Pant" should match with "2-Pant". I am not able to form a proper query for it. Help please?

Answer 1

You need to RIGHT JOIN Table1 to Table2 and use the LIKE condition appending the % wildcard on two sides of the value from Table1. Use the following query:

SELECT T1.PropertyId FROM Table1 AS T1
RIGHT JOIN Table2 AS T2 ON T2.Description LIKE '%'+T1.Name+'%';

Extra SQLFiddle demo, so you know that the right column is being matched.

Answer 2

Try this

select t1.PropertyID from  Table2 t2 left join Table1 t1 on t2.Description 
like '%'+t1.name+'%'
