Home Forums SQL Server 2005 T-SQL (SS2K5) Where clause - Where "string" in any field in specified table RE: Where clause - Where "string" in any field in specified table

  • There is not really a terribly efficient way to do this. You are going to have to type in all the columns. something like this might help make it somewhat easier.

    select case when CHARINDEX('y', col1 + col2 + col3 + col4) > 0 then 'Red' else 'Green' end
