MS-SQL - Like search form from a group of products.

Question

SELECT P.ID AS ProductID, P.Name, P.Price, P.ProdID,
P.ShipCost,
P.ClearSale, P.SalePrice, G.gid, G.pid AS Gpid, G.ord,
PC.cid, PC.gid AS
PCgid
FROM atblProducts P INNER JOIN Groups G ON P.ID = G.pid INNER
JOIN PCat
PC ON G.gid = PC.gid
WHERE (P.price IS NOT NULL AND PC.cid = 51 OR PC.cid = 52 OR
PC.cid = 53
OR PC.cid = 54) OR P.Name LIKE '%MMColParam3%' OR P.ID LIKE
'%MMColParam3%'
ORDER BY P.ProductID
WHERE P.Price IS NOT NULL AND PC.cid = 51 OR PC.cid = 52 OR
PC.cid = 53
OR PC.cid = 54
This gives me the group of products that I need but as soon
as I add the
'%MMColParam3%' bit to see the items searched on, it fails.
What I am doing is pulling in the '%MMColParam3%' using a
form to check the
product name, and the description out of a group of 4
categories: 51, 52,
53, 54. I can get the 4 categories to display but as soon as
I add the OR
P.Name LIKE '%MMColParam3%' OR P.ID LIKE '%MMColParam3%'
bit, it fails.

hi
I don't think that building a search page on a read-only View Object should be a problem.
Maybe these screencasts by Steve Muench about creating simple search pages with ADF Business Components and ADF Faces (JSF) could help.

- Part 2: Oracle Forms-Style EnterQuery/ExecuteQuery Mode Page
- Part 3: Search Form Using View Object with Named Bind Parameters
