  Hello
  
  I have a table in SQL server which looks like this:
  
  service_id
  service_name
  service_keywords
  
  The data in service_keywords is delimitered with a colon eg. website,stuff,testing,words
  
  Now I have a webform which allows people to search (via a textbox). When they enter a word it should check all the words in the service_keywords columns and return the id's that have a match (same method as LIKE in sql statements, eg site should also match the keyword website).
  
  Can I do this in .NET or do I have to do this via a stored procedure or is there any other option available? Can't seem to figure this out.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  hi Kevin,

  Try to split your string stored in service_keywords.

  - Fetch the string.

  - create an string array.... like:  string[] arrkeywords;

  - then split the string fetched earlier.....like : arrkeywords = servicekeywords.Split(new string[]{","}, StringSplitOptions.None);

  Then you can compare each array element with the input word.

  Regards,

  Royal

  Hi,

  This is a simple database query, I dont know SQL server syntax, so this is oracle syntax that you can edit:

  [CODE]

  using oraConn as oracleconnection = new oracleconnection(configurationmanager.connectionstrings("db").connectionstring)

  using oraCmd as oraclecommand = new oraclecommand("select * from table where service_keywords like (:QUERY)", oraconn)

  oraCmd.connection.open

  oraCmd.parameters.addwithvalue("QUERY", "%" & txtQuery.text & "%")

  dim oraDread as oracledatareader = nothing

  oraDread = oraCmd.Executereader

  if oraDread isnot nothing andalso oradread.hasrows

  do while oraDread.read

  ' your code to do the stuff with the results goes here

  loop

  oraDread.close

  end if

  oracmd.connection.close

  end using

  end using

  [/CODE]

  That should see you right.  If you want the results in a dataset, use a dataadapter and call fill on it passing in the dataset.

  Regards
