Select rows that must contain certain values












1















I have two tables named Table A and Table B. Table A is a list of words and Table B is a list of documents related to those words. I need to do a search where I need to retrieve which documents have all the words I look for or some of them.



The tables structures and data example is as follow:



Declare @TableA Table (IdWord Int, Word Varchar(100))
Declare @TableB Table (IdProcess Int, IdWord Int, Document Varchar(100))

Insert Into @TableA Values (1, 'A');
Insert Into @TableA Values (2, 'B');
Insert Into @TableA Values (3, 'C');
Insert Into @TableA Values (4, 'D');
Insert Into @TableA Values (5, 'E');

Insert Into @TableB Values (1, 1, 'Document 1.doc');
Insert Into @TableB Values (1, 2, 'Document 1.doc');
Insert Into @TableB Values (1, 3, 'Document 1.doc');
Insert Into @TableB Values (1, 4, 'Document 1.doc');

Insert Into @TableB Values (2, 1, 'Document 2.doc');
Insert Into @TableB Values (2, 2, 'Document 2.doc');

Insert Into @TableB Values (3, 5, 'Document 3.doc');


I've been thinking how to resolve the following logic:



(Word='A' And Word='B' And Word='C') Or Word='E'


Which should yield as result Document 1.doc (because although it has more than 3 words it contains all the 3 words I'm looking for) And Document 3.doc (because or operator)



Any ideas?

          • Oh i see, nice way of handling it but in order to build the query for the having part I need to first build the query and then use the exec command, I was trying to avoid that and use pure transact sql. Keep in mind the input can be n words and n operators (just "and" and "or" though)
