Hi,

How to use ampersand ( &) in contains keyword.
I want to use

select id from table where   contains (company_name , ' %at&t%' or '%aol%') > 0 ;

Currently i am getting no records which is like at&t.

If i dont use % on both sides, i am getting records matching for 'at' and anything starting with 't' because contains is interpreting & as a special character.

Can anybody help me. I want records matching only for 'at&t'

 Thanks in advance

Renjith

You may (will) get a performacnce hit (how bad is the question!)

decode the & in the query.

contains(REPLACE(company_name,'&','¬') , ' %at¬t%' or '%aol%') > 0 ;

worth a shot!
