SQL Search rows that contain strings from 2nd table list - sql

Question

I have a master table that contains a list of strings to search for. it returns TRUE/FALSE if any string in the cell contains text from the master lookup table. Currently I use excel's
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(masterTable,[#searchString])))>0
is there a way to do something like this in SQL? LEFT JOIN or OUTER APPLY would be simple solutions if the strings were equal; but they need be contains..
SELECT *
FROM t
WHERE col1 contains(lookupString,lookupColumn)
--that 2nd table could be maintained and referenced from multiple queries
hop
bell
PRS
2017
My desired results would be a column that shows TRUE/FALSE if the row contains any string from the lookup table
SEARCH_STRING Contained_in_lookup_column
hopping TRUE
root FALSE
Job2017 TRUE
PRS_tool TRUE
hand FALSE

Answer 1

Sorry i dont have access to the DB now to confirm the syntax, but should be something like this:
SELECT t.name,
case when (select count(1) from data_table where data_col like '%' || t.name || '%' > 0) then 'TRUE' else 'FALSE' end
FROM t;
or
SELECT t.name,
case when exists(select null from data_table where data_col like '%' || t.name || '%') then 'TRUE' else 'FALSE' end
FROM t;

You can use a combination of % wildcards with LIKE and EXISTS.
Example (using Oracle syntax) - we have a v_data table containing the data and a v_queries table containing the query terms:
with v_data (pk, value) as (
select 1, 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' from dual union all
select 2, 'Yabba dabba doo' from dual union all
select 3, 'forty-two' from dual
),
v_queries (text) as (
select 'quick' from dual union all
select 'forty' from dual
)
select * from v_data d
where exists (
select null
from v_queries q
where d.value like '%' || q.text || '%');
