We are trying to set up a stored procedure that will use up to three search criteria to search in two different fields then union them together.
[dbo].[SP_NAME]
@Criteria1 varchar (50),
@Criteria2 varchar (50),
@Criteria3 varchar (50)
AS
select Category,OPT,[Description],Comments,UOM,Item1,Item2,Item3,Item4,Item5,Item6,Item7,Item8,
Item9,Item10,Major_Group from tblDCOptions
where
Description like '@Criteria1' and
Description like '@Criteria2' and
Description like '@Criteria3' and
(InActive is null or InActive = 0 )
union
select Category,OPT,[Description],Comments,UOM,Item1,Item2,Item3,Item4,Item5,Item6,Item7,Item8,
Item9,Item10,Major_Group from tblDCOptions
where
Comments like '@Criteria1' and
Comments like '@Criteria2' and
Comments like '@Criteria3' and
(InActive is null or InActive = 0 )
order by OPT
If I run this as a sql query so take out the @criteria info and type in items it works fine. If I execute the stored procedure I get nothing.
Each criteria is something like %Search-item% or if it is blank it is just %%
Can this not be done in a stored procedure?

Remove the quotes from around the parameters. '@Criteria1' should be @Criteria1

thanks didn't even register that they were left over from typing text in manually to test.

You might want to take a look at this blog post from Gail. She goes over how to handle catch-all type queries. This is very close to that type of situation and reading her post may very well help you improve the performance of your procedure.
