#087 How to return products that contain at least one of the words in Azure SQL

This T-SQL code performs a query using the CONTAINS function to perform a full-text search in the Description column of the Products table. The query looks for records that contain at least one of the words "fast" or "fast" in the Description column. I'll explain each part of the code:

SELECT Product ID, Name, Description
FROM Products
WHERE CONTAINS(Description, 'fast OR fast');

1. ProductID, Name, Description

   :
   • SELECT: Indicates that the next part of the code will specify which columns will be returned in the query.
   • ProductID, Name, Description: These are the columns that will be returned in the query. These are the columns in the Products table that we want to include in the results.

2. FROM:

   • Indicates the table from which the data will be selected.
   • Products: This is the name of the table from which the data will be extracted.

3. WHERE CONTAINS(Description, 'fast OR fast'); :

   • WHERE: Filters results based on a condition.
   • CONTAINS(Description, 'fast OR fast'): Uses the CONTAINS function to perform a full-text search in the Description column of the Products table. The fast OR fast condition indicates that the query should return records that contain at least one of the words "fast" or "fast" in the Description column.

code returns the ProductID, Name, and Description columns of the Products table for records in which the Description column contains at least one of the words "fast" or "fast." This query is useful when you want to retrieve products that have descriptions related to specific terms, using the Full-Text Index functionality to optimize text searches.
