syntax for "contains"

Need to run a query to find all the items that contain a + sign I don't know the syntax/symbol to use in the query for "contains"

Can anyone help me on that?

select * from item where lookupcode (contains)+

Hi Kathryn - depending on where the plus sign is try....

select * from item where itemlookupcode like '+%' (plus at beginning) select * from item where itemlookupcode like '%+%' (plus in middle of string) select * from item where itemlookupcode like '%+' (plus at end)

That would definitely work, but I thought I would chime in with an alternate method. To to it in one statement, I would use the CHARINDEX() function. The following should find all items with a '+' in the itemlookupcode:

select * from item where charindex ('+', itemlookupcode) 0

Just my 2 cents.
