Syntax for load ... from ... where = ... or where = ...

[Anonymous]

Hi,

i load data from a database. Now i want to load only data where the field product = *sprite* or product = "cola" is.

What is the correct syntax for it?

FROM `databasename`.`tablename` where product = '*sprite*' or where product = '*cola*'

regards,

Fritz

Hi,

You only need the where once :

FROM `databasename`.`tablename` where product = '*sprite*' or product = '*cola*';

[#3]

where  product = '*sprite*' or product = '*cola*';

Hi, the "= '*cola*'" maybe tries to find that exact string.

If doesn't works try with:

where product like '%sprite%' or product like '%cola%';

I try it like this, but now qlik sense loads no data. There is no error.

Is SQL SELECT a problem?

LOAD ID,

product,

price;

SQL SELECT ID,

product,

price

FROM `databasename`.`tablename` where product = '*cola*' or product = '*sprite*';

I try it also with %cola%.

You need to know which wildcards and quotes your database supported (look there in the help or ask google). Also it might be helpful to change the equal-sign with like:

where product like '*cola*' or product like '*sprite*'

Thank you Marcus and the others for help!

With like and % it works. I use a MySQL Database.
