Need SQL query to return any words with '%an%' but not return records with 'and'

[Andreamcc]

Hi All, As the title says I am hoping to find out how i can write sql code that will return any words that have the characters 'an' in them but not return the word 'and' as well.  I can manage to get all words with an by using %an% but it is also returning the word 'and' along with it.  Can anyone help?

Thanks

select * from [TableName] where  [ColumnName] Like '%an%' and  not [ColumnName] Like  '%and%' 

 

Hi,  Try this, i hope this will work.
