Timout exception, using like operator on text datatype column in SQL2005

  • Hi,

    I have a requirement to search a text on the text datatype column and if the value exist, then return the row.

    DataBase: SQL 2005.

    For this, I have written a SQL select statement like;

    Select Column1, Column2, Column3 from table where text_datatype_column like '%abchelp%'.

    The above query execution raises performance issue.

    Is there any other way to do text search on textdatatype column rather than LIKE operator ?

    Can anyone help me!

    Thanks in advance,

    Prakash Shanmugam

  • Is full-text search an option?
