How to return rows where a column has 2 words (that is, strings separated by a space) in it?
It must be purely using SQL.
SELECT * FROM table WHERE name (has 2 strings in it);

I dont know the names when querying. Its a big dataset. I only have to check if the name contains a spacebar basically (from a comment).
If you want to distinguish names that have two parts from one-part and three-plus-part names, you can use regular expression:
SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE name REGEXP '^[^ ]+[ ]+[^ ]+$'
This regular expression matches when the entire string consists of two non-empty parts containing no spaces, with one or more space separating them.
