Solution 1

This will return a result if the PROB_TITLE field has an entry that ends with "Unable". If you're looking for the word "Unable" anywhere in the field, you'll have to change your spec to '%Unable%'.

Hi Shadi,

Use this -
SELECT * FROM rccdb.dbo.SEARCH WHERE PROB_TITLE LIKE '%Unable%'

What is different is wild card (%) at the end also. It should bring result if "Unable" word is there any where.

Thank you,
Srini Oleti.
