Hi:
How can I search on a csv list of values using "like" where each value
is to be appended with a wildcarded string?
Example:
list = 'jo,mo,do,fo'
I want to pull all names from a table with name like.. 'jo*l%*' or
'mo*l%*' or'do*l%*' or 'so*l%*'
would match "jolly, molly, moleman,dollface, solarboy"
notice they all have the same "l%' wildcarded suffix.
I'm really not that lazy, just trying to keep this in a simgle query
in order to minimize network hits which will reduce overall wallclock
performance. This thing wil be running in a programming loop.
where field ~ '^(jo|mo|do|fo)'
