Hello I am wondering if it is possible to use a SINGLE LIKE statement for a selection from a list.
For example: If I want to return all results that a phrase starts with a number, can I make a call similar to the following: SELECT * FROM table WHERE phrase LIKE {'0%','1%','2%','3%','4%','5%','6%','7%','8%','9%'}; If not is there an easier way than having to call this: SELECT * FROM table WHERE phrase LIKE '0%' OR phrase LIKE '1%' OR phrase LIKE '2%' OR phrase LIKE '3%' OR phrase LIKE '4%' OR phrase LIKE '5%' OR phrase LIKE '6%' OR phrase LIKE '7%' OR phrase LIKE '8%' OR phrase LIKE '9%'; Thank you.
