Hi,

I Required to Split Each Words in the sentence for search the data like that.

Ex:

 During the search of data for the following words,
 
   WELDING MACHINE

 it required to search the material name like WELDING MACHINE and 
MACHINE WELDING.

Regards,

C V S

Set the criteria in PRE-QUERY trigger by using SET-BLOCK-PROPERTY built-in. You'd choose either DEFAULT_WHERE or ONETIME_WHERE. It would probably look like

where that_item = 'WELDING MACHINE' 
   or that_item = 'MACHINE WELDING'

Hi,

The WELDING MACHINE is an example.

I required to split the words in a field with help of space between the sentences words.

In that case, you should have put the question into the SQL & PL/SQL forum, not Forms one. Splitting a "sentence" into "words" is not a Forms problem.

Anyway: you'd use character functions, such as SUBSTR and INSTR to do that job. (Unfortunately, as you aren't on Oracle 10g or above, you can't use regular expressions.) Research their use, try to produce a query. If you don't succeed, come back, show what you have done, explain why it doesn't work and someone will take a look and provide further help.

In other words, I'm not in the mood to write that for you.
