My table in the database looks like this
TABLE texts:
(txt TEXT UNIQUE):
blob
abcdef
WhAt7228
_0jap
...
I want to iterate over the txt values and just find out if at least one of them is a substring in a given string(for example megablob).
Something like if IS_SUBSTR(txt, "megablob"): return true , should return true because the first element ‘blob’ is a substring of ‘megablob’.
>Solution :
Use EXISTS which returns 1 for true or 0 for false.
For case-sensitive search use INSTR() function:
SELECT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE INSTR('megablob', txt));
For case-insensitive search use LIKE operator:
SELECT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE 'megablob' LIKE '%' || txt || '%');
