I would try select * from sonusrpt where upper(subject) like '%GENERAL%'; Might be a case issue w/ subject - if the word is General as you state above, you are searching for general below.
Good Luck -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 3:33 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I am running oracle8i on solaris8. I have a word ( General ) in my column named "subject", I try to run SQL using LIKE and % to grep any data having the word ( General ) but it displayed no rows selected. Does someone have any idea why? Below is my SQL I used. SQL> select * from sonusrpt where subject like '%general%'; no rows selected.
