I need to search the column value from one table with column value of another table.
For example
MyTable
Col1 Col2
AAA 1
BBB 2
CCC 3
MyTable2
Col1 Col2
GHKGH AAAh 1
dhsjsBvd 2
bdnd CCC b 3
I need to search the col1 value from MyTable in col1 value of MyTable2.
I dont want to hard code the string but take the value from table.
Tried using instr
and regex_instr
, but these functions don't allow column values in the pattern to search.
I am using oracle 10g. TIA
Tested example here: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!4/037ffe/3
select
t1.col1 AS t1col1, t2.col1 AS t2col1
from
MyTable t1
left join MyTable2 t2
on t2.col1 like '%' || t1.col1 || '%'
Full example including DDL:
CREATE TABLE MyTable (col1 varchar2(9));
INSERT ALL
INTO MyTable (col1)
VALUES ('AAA')
INTO MyTable (col1)
VALUES ('BBB')
INTO MyTable (col1)
VALUES ('CCC')
SELECT * FROM dual;
CREATE TABLE MyTable2 (col1 varchar2(18));
INSERT ALL
INTO MyTable2 (col1)
VALUES ('GHKGH AAAh')
INTO MyTable2 (col1)
VALUES ('dhsjsBvd')
INTO MyTable2 (col1)
VALUES ('bdnd CCC b')
SELECT * FROM dual;
select
t1.col1 AS t1col1, t2.col1 AS t2col1
from
MyTable t1
left join MyTable2 t2
on t2.col1 like '%' || t1.col1 || '%'
Resultset:
T1COL1 T2COL1
AAA GHKGH AAAh
BBB (null)
CCC bdnd CCC b
