Answer / rubyna
Like gives additional option of specifying exact
string/character position in the text. eg. if we want to
search all words having second letter 'a', we can use like,
but cannot use contain-
select * from emp where emp.name like '_a%'.
We don't have corresponding statement with contains.

Answer / santosh acharya
Select * from myTable where textField like '%Cats and Dogs%'
Select * from myTable where CONTAINS(textField, '"Cats and
Dogs"')
Both options will only return rows that contain the exact
phrase "Cats and Dogs", neither will return records that
contain either "Cats" or "Dogs" in them.
