Search for rows that contain a string from another table list












1















so I have 2 tables. chat_table, bad_words_table. Now I need a query that searches all chats that have bad words.



chat_table(id, user, chat) - contains all chats

bad_words_table(id, word) - contains a list of offensive words.


Now I need some sort of query that takes all chats from chat_table WHERE the chat CONTAINS any of the words FROM bad_words_table;



What would be the best way to do that?

          You can JOIN between the two tables such that chat LIKE %bad_word%. A chat may contain multiple bad words; we can get unique chats only using DISTINCT keyword.



          SELECT DISTINCT c.*
          FROM chat_table AS c
          JOIN bad_words_table AS bw
          ON c.chat LIKE CONCAT('%',bw.word,'%')


          For larger tables, I would recommend to use Full Text Searching instead, as LIKE %..% will not be able to use any Indexing.
