Sherman,
In the future, please be kind enough to provide PostgreSQL version and O/S
when posting to this listing.
Also include COLUMN HEADERS with all data and present the data formatted so
it is easily readable by humans.
Presuming the # is your column divider, and the data you have provided
looks like this:
id #aria #artist
#a_artist #album_title
cbiylm06 #Caro mio ben #Cecilia Bartoli
# #Se tu m'ami
cbiylm07 #Pur dicesti, o bocca bella #Cecilia Bartoli #
#Se tu m'ami
cbiylm08 #Intorno all'idol mio #Cecilia Bartoli
# #Se tu m'ami
cbiylm09 #Nel cor più non mi sento #Cecilia Bartoli #
#Se tu m'ami
cbiylm10 #Il mio ben quando ve #Cecilia Bartoli #
#Se tu m'ami
cbiylm11 #O Leggiadri Occhi Belli #Cecilia Bartoli #
#Se tu m'ami
cbiylm12 #Il mio bel foco #Cecilia Bartoli
# #Se tu m'ami
Then all you really need is:
SELECT *
FROM aria_precis
WHERE aria LIKE '%mio ben%';
