How to combine 'LIKE' and 'AND' Operator in SQL Statement in Oracle

Question

How to combine 'LIKE' and 'AND' operator in query in ORACLE.

Suppose for example that I have the TEST table as shown below:

------------------------------------
col1    |   Col2
------------------------------------
A       |   RED
B       |   RED,BLUE
C       |   BLUE,GREEN
D       |   YELLOW,RED
------------------------------------

Now, if i am writing query as shown below that will return all records where either of them exists ie 'A,B,C,D'.

[Since here 'OR' operator is involved in REGEXP_LIKE]

SELECT * FROM TEST WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(COL2,'ED|UE');

But I want AND operator to be used with LIKE . So it should return only C where both of them should exist.

How to write query for the same ?

Answer 1

You could try:

SELECT * FROM test
WHERE Col2 LIKE '%ED%'
  AND Col2 LIKE '%UE%'
