RK> Hi,
RK> I've googled around for this but can't see a decent way of doing this :
RK> I've got a persons name which is being stored say in 3 columns :-
RK> Title, Forename_1, Forename_2, Surname. I want to allow a search say for
RK> 'John Smith'. Problem is I can't just break it up into forename and
RK> surname because I won't also know.
RK> Is there a way to do something like a
RK> 'select * where forename_1,forename_2,surname like '%String%' ??
RK> Thanks for any help. Apologies if its a FAQ.

RK> TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
Try this way:
select * .... where forename_1||' '||forename_2||' '||surname like '%String%'
or
select * .... where forename_1||' '||forename_2||' '||surname~'String'
