Hello,

SQL

select * from userInterest
where (userInterest.interest = 'abc' AND userInterest.interest = 'def')

I am trying to query a table to find out the users with 'abc' and 'def' interest and interest is SET type. The above query isn't working. What is the way to find out SET types value??

Thanks

Try this:

SQL

select * from userInterest
where (userInterest.interest LIKE '%abc%' OR userInterest.interest LIKE '%def%')

I have tried this, but the problem is it list the users with interest 'abc' or 'def' but there are many users with interest as both 'abc' AND 'def'. So I want to list those users too. I am expecting the result for interest should be
Interest
abc,def

Oh, I understand: in this case you need a LIKE operator!
