Even if they did work, you would get false matches: e.g. 34 would match a search for 3. In the second case you could write perhaps ',' + listofids + ',' LIKE '%,' + id + ',%' but it ain't pretty.
-----Original Message----- From: DRE [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 29 June 2005 11:00 a.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: OT sql with like as variable Hey, I thought I had this down but I'm having a bit of a problem Consider a table like so. id, listofids "33","33,44,55,66" "rr","rr,gg,cc,dd" "xx","zz,ee,rr" I'm trying to get a list of all the records where the value of the first is somewhere in the second. I'm thinking SELECT id, listofids, FROM table WHERE CHARINDEX(id ,listofids) <> 0 Or perhaps SELECT id, listofids FROM gv_locations WHERE ',' + listofids + ',' LIKE '%' + id + '%' But neither returns any records. Any ideas? Thanks.
