Using LIKE multiple times on same field

[Face]

I've got a table with about 25,000 rows. I was selecting on the serial field using the following :

SELECT distinct(LEFT(serial,2)) as serial FROM aircraft

 

This would return the distinct first two characters of the serial.

 

What I'd now like to do is to just select serials that begin with X, W, and Y. But trying

SELECT distinct(LEFT(serial,2)) as serial FROM aircraft where serial like ('W%','X%','Z%')

or trying

SELECT distinct(LEFT(serial,2)) as serial FROM aircraft where serial like 'W%' and serial like 'X%' and serial like 'Y%'

 

don't work.

 

Does anyone have a solution ?

 

Thanks.

Ok, just figured it out....

 

Use OR instead of AND :

 

SELECT distinct(LEFT(serial,2)) as serial FROM aircraft where serial like 'W%' or serial like 'X%' or serial like 'Y%'
