Hi,

I'm using SQL Server 2008

I have concatenated values of two columns(Firstname and lastname) of a table(Person). I want to retrieve all the values based on this names.

I have used this query

SELECT * FROM Person WHERE FirstName+LastName LIKE '[abdulkalam%]';

where abdul is the value of the column Firstname and kalam is the value of LastName .

Thank you in advance

Hi,

Check this ...

SQL

SELECT * FROM Person Where UPPER(RTRIM(LTRIM(FIRSTname))) + UPPER(RTRIM(LTRIM(LastName)))
Like UPPER('abdulkalam%')

Hope this will help you.

Cheers
