Postgresql Contains in where clause
You could use position()
for that. It returns zero if the substring is not found:
position(col2 in col1) <> 0
There are a bunch of ways of solving this:
Use
like
,ilike
, and/orSIMILAR TO
along with ||. To handle columns, something like:WHERE col1 ilike '%' || col2 || '%';
Use position as NPE's answer
You could also use
regexp_matches
but that is more complex.
