I'm not sure if that would work. The reason I need to use CONTAINS (or an
equivalent) is that I need to do an inflectional search. I abbreviated the
code as much as possible for the group... Perhaps too much. What I really
need to join on is something like:
SELECT ListA.Content
FROM ListA LEFT OUTER JOIN ListB
ON CONTAINS(ListB.Content, FORMS OF(INFLECTIONAL, ListA.Content))
WHERE ListB.Content IS NULL
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi
CONTAINS does not take a column as the second parameter, therefore you you
can't use it.
These may be an alternative:
SELECT A.Content
FROM ListA A LEFT OUTER JOIN ListB B
ON CHARINDEX( B.Content, A.Content ) > 0
WHERE B.Content IS NULL
SELECT A.Content
FROM ListA A LEFT OUTER JOIN ListB B
ON A.Content LIKE '%' + B.Content + '%'
WHERE B.Content IS NULL

I am getting errors in the following... Is it even possible to join on
CONTAINS?
SELECT ListA.Content
FROM ListA LEFT OUTER JOIN ListB
ON CONTAINS(ListB.Content, ListA.Content)
WHERE ListB.Content IS NULL
Thanks!
