Question : Oracle SQL containing word

Hi experts,

Assumed I have two records which one of fields (e.g. DESC) has this data:
   - first record --> "OTHER LABORATORY ANIMALS"
   - second record --> "OTHER ANIMAL ABC"

Using keyword "ANIMAL" in search criteria and if we use DESC like '%ANIMAL%', we will end up with getting two records.

What oracle sql command can I use for getting only second record (get only 'ANIMAL' and exclude 'ANIMALS')?

Thanks for your help.

Answer : Oracle SQL containing word

select * from table where REGEXP_LIKE(DESC, /[:space:]ANIMAL[:space:]/);
