Re: Searching a MYSQL DB

Yes, it's easy and you already have at least one answer. If you are going to be doing any database programming, a basic familiarity with SQL (Structured Query Language) and relational databases is pretty essential. A book like "SQL for Dummies" is an excellent place to start, you could probably find some useful things on line if you search for something like "SQL tutorial". There may also be a tutorial linked from the MySQL web site. So, dig in and have fun. It's pretty straightforward. Regards - Miles Thompson At 09:44 PM 5/23/01 +1200, YoBro wrote:

Hi, Any ideas, or any code that will allow a search of specific keywords in a mysql database. Feilds in a Table called: Name Description What I am after is if somebody types the word 'hammer', then I want it to return the results in a list if the word hammer is picked up under the name of description feilds. Is this easier enough to do?
