Combining in and like
-
I'm still relatively new to SQL and I was wondering whether there was an easier way to do things. I need to limit a query based on if a field is like one of three values. I can use "WHERE field in ('list one', 'list two', 'list three')", and I can to "WHERE field like 'list one' or field like 'list two' or field like 'list three'". Is there a way, however, to combine 'in' and 'like' to do something like "WHERE field in like ('list one', 'list two', 'list three') ?

That sounds like Valley Girl SQL. :-D You should post this to the SQL forum, you'll probably get more and faster responses than in the C# forum. :josh: My WPF Blog[^]

No you can't do that. You would have to say where (field like '%list1%' or field like '%sdf%') but that would be inefficient anyway. how vital enterprise application are for proactive organizations leveraging collective synergy to think outside the box and formulate their key objectives into a win-win game plan with a quality-driven approach that focuses on empowering key players to drive-up their core competencies and increase expectations with an all-around initiative to drive up the bottom-line. But of course, that's all a "high level" overview of things --thedailywtf 3/21/06
