Hi Friends,
I am having a database with varchar2(255) columns named title,
extra_info1,extra_info2,extra_info3 .
I want to search all these columns with a search string given to me via a
form ,I am using PERL, the string will be like

+abhishek jain -abcd "this should be exact"
As you can see the word/words prefixed with + should be there somewhere in
the above columns in database ,with - should not be there and within "" they
should be exact phrase.
I want a sol. for this,
Pl. help me how to make a search queruy will it be in regex or simople like
and not like , i will be having about 1 lac records in the database.
I have adequate exp with mysql but not with Oracle , pl. help i need to
implement this on Oracle.
Thanks,
Abhishek jain
