For this, you can use WHERE clause with multiple LIKE. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1536 -> ( -> Sentence text -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.51 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1536 values('I like MySQL database.'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1536 values('Java is an Object Oriented Programming Language'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.30 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1536 values('I only like data structure'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1536 values('MongoDB is NoSQL database'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.46 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1536;
This will produce the following output −
+--------------------------------------------------+ | Sentence | +--------------------------------------------------+ | I like MySQL database. | | Java is an Object Oriented Programming Language | | I only like data structure | | MongoDB is NoSQL database | +--------------------------------------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to search multiple words −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1536 -> where ( Sentence like '%like%') or (Sentence like '%database%') or (Sentence like '%data%');
This will produce the following output −
+----------------------------+ | Sentence | +----------------------------+ | I like MySQL database. | | I only like data structure | | MongoDB is NoSQL database | +----------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
