[cfaussie] RE: Error Occurred While Processing Request

[gary menzel]

I had another thought on this as well.....

If you are using SQL*Server you may consider having a Full Text index created.

Then you would use functions like CONTAINS(columnname,conditions) or CONTAINSTABLE, etc. inside your query instead of using LIKE.
