Can it cause any problems if mySQL query is very long? I have to compare many words to many fields in my DB and I've done it like "....Field LIKE '%searchword%' || Field LIKE '%searchword%' || Field LIKE '%searchword%'.....". Query is build by a function, so I don't know the exact length but it is VERY long. I also have to compare several words to one field so I've done many of those "Field LIKE '%blah%'" for those too. Is there any smarter way to do this?
