    Red face Need Help, SQL Query...Mybe

    I'm not quite sure myself.. is it my problem just can be solve using sql query, or its more complicated than that..

    Here;
    say i got PropertyTbl with attributes in it
    -Title
    -Location
    -Remarks
    -Owner

    and i'm trying to make a search using a keyword out of it..

    This is the SQL that i used,

    SELECT * FROM PropertyTbl WHERE (Title LIKE '%keywords%' OR Location LIKE '%keywords%' OR Remarks LIKE '%keywords%' OR Owner LIKE '%keywords%') ORDER by Title ASC

    And it will return any records that have at least one keyword in any of the attributes. sorted by Title

    the exact thing i want is, if the keyword appears in the Location, then i want it sorted first.. then follow by other records. its like.. search in all.. but the priority goes to Location if got match and appear first compare to other result else sort the result by Title ASC

    hope someone will understand this .. any help ? thanks

    you can try that:

    SELECT * FROM PropertyTbl
    WHERE (Title LIKE '%keywords%' OR Location LIKE '%keywords%' OR Remarks LIKE '%keywords%' OR Owner LIKE '%keywords%')
    ORDER by case when Location LIKE '%keywords%' THEN Location
    else Title end
    ASC

    ok, now I know what you want

    please,try adding a new flag column 1 when Location is suitable else 2 and order your results accourdingly :

    SELECT * , case when Location LIKE '%keywords%' then 1 else 2 end Flag
    FROM PropertyTbl
    WHERE (Title LIKE '%keywords%' OR Location LIKE '%keywords%' OR Remarks LIKE '%keywords%' OR Owner LIKE '%keywords%')
    ORDER by Flag , ......

    let me know!

    I had no idea how to use it and I'm quite sure i had it wrong..
    this is query i used,

    SELECT * , case when Location LIKE '%keywords%' then 1 else 2 end Flag
    FROM PropertyTbl
    WHERE (Title LIKE '%keywords%' OR Location LIKE '%keywords%' OR Remarks LIKE '%keywords%' OR Owner LIKE '%keywords%')
    ORDER by Flag , 1

    i tried search with keyword klcc.. which this keyword also exists it other columns..
    and below is the result of Location column.

    Location
