Subject: Wildcard LIKE and Sub-select

Hi everybody,
I have two tables of the following structure:
Table "keywords"
column | type
---------------------
id | integer
keyword | varchar(255)
and
Table "badwords"
column | type
----------------------
badword | varchar(255)
I need to delete all the rows from the keywords table where badword
partially matches the keyword field. I know I can do an exact match with a
sub-select, but I'm not sure how to structure a wildcard match / like clause
with a sub-select. Also, is that the best way to do it, or should I be
looking into full-text? I have roughly 10 million keywords and 1 million
badwords.
Thanks,
Travis
