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.
