Even better:

where ship_name like '%' || SHIP_ID || '%'

I think using LIKE is faster.

where ship_name like '%ABC%'

Ranganath,

You can use instr(ship_name, ship_id) > 0

Cheers,
Neil.

Hi all,

                 I have a table by name shipment with two columns say

ship_id and
ship_name and data as follows:

SHIP_ID          SHIP_NAME
-------------            -------------------
ABC                              1ABCLMN
XYZ                              23XYZ1112
ABB                              123LM

                 I want to select all the columns in shipment table which

has ship_id
as string in the ship_name column. For example, ship_id 'ABC' is present in
'1ABCLMN'. So that record should be selected. The ship_id string may start
from any position and end at any position in ship_name column. So I cannot
use the substr function in this case. How do I write the select clause for
this requirement?

                 Any help in this regard is very much appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Ranganath
