Even better: 

   where ship_name like '%' || SHIP_ID || '%'

I think using LIKE is faster.

where ship_name like '%ABC%'

Ranganath,

You can use instr(ship_name, ship_id) > 0

Cheers,
Neil.

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_id
as 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
