Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Dynamic select query
THIS WILL WORK and shud be more efficient than instr() or 'select from dual'
SELECT * FROM shipment WHERE ship_name like '%' || ship_id || '%';

Another way to perform the same task:
select * from shipment a
where ship_name like (select '%' || a.ship_id || '%' from dual);
I wonder how efficient this is compared to using the INSTR() function.

Try:
SQL> SELECT *
2 FROM shipment
3 WHERE ship_name LIKE '%ABC%';
SHI SHIP_NAME
--- ----------
ABC 1ABC123
DEF ABC1234
GHI 1234ABC

Hi all,
I have a table by name shipment with two columns say ship_id and ship_name and data as follows:
SHIP_ID SHIP_NAME ------------- ------------------- ABC 1ABCLMN XYZ 23XYZ1112 ABB 123LM I want to select all the columns in shipment table which has ship_idas string in the ship_name column. For example, ship_id 'ABC' is present in '1ABCLMN'. So that record should be selected. The ship_id string may start from any position and end at any position in ship_name column. So I cannot use the substr function in this case. How do I write the select clause for this requirement?
Any help in this regard is very much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Ranganath
