sql - OR operation between columns in SELECT query in Oracle -


i wonder if possible use or operation between columns in select query?

select    first_name,    last_name     employee     (first_name or last_name)='&enter_search_string';

just preference:

select first_name,  last_name  employee  '&enter_search_string' in (first_name, last_name)

"no value.")))) maybe there's simple method using macro? well, isn't it; has same problem first definition, if evaluation of throw happens later: (defmacro get-or-throw-2 [rec key] `(get ~rec ~key (throw (exception. "no value.")))) this 1 works letting get return value (in theory) never generated other way: (defn get-or-throw-3 [rec key] (let [not-found-thing :i_would_never_name_some_thing_this_021138465079313 value (get rec key not-found-thing)] (if (= value not-found-thing) (throw (exception.
