SQL Server Where Operator 1

[dhar2611]

I got a idiotic question. in ASP I am doing a key word search using sql statement.

For example:

search for "computer".... results is fine. It gets only the records with the keyword like "%computer%"

search for "computer service"..... results comes out but not the way I want. my sql statement is like "%computer%" or like "%service%".

Its working. But I want to list the records with both keywords first and then list the other records with either keyword matching.

Any Idea....

I just copied your code and pasted on the MS Access query and it gives an error "Missing Operator". Does this mean it works only on the sql server and asp scripts. Thanks for all the information.

Many Thanks

Also another question. If I use "group by" will it be a problem.

Erm... this forum is for Mircosoft SQL Server, there are other forums for Access. I guess code from above can be translated to Access without much trouble. Try there...

DISTINCT and GROUP BY without HAVING do the same. But if you need only de-duping feature then DISTINCT is better because of shorter and more manageable code.
