Hi All,

I have a Long field in a table. I just want to search all those values, which contain 'Battery*'. Is there any function for that?

Thanks....

HI

Use the following clause in SQL query:

where <field_name> like '%Battery*%'

Girish,

I think Long field cannot be used in Where clause.

Thanks....

Yes u r right Vijay

Sorry for the earlier miscommunication.

Theres lot of restrictions with LONG datatype.

One possible way is:
Do a select on the fields that have this LONG datatype. Insert them into a new table, but instead of using the LONG datatype use a CLOB datatype in the new table.
