Combining "LIKE" and "IN" for SQL Server

Effectively, the IN statement creates a series of OR statements... so

SELECT * FROM table WHERE column IN (1, 2, 3)

Is effectively

SELECT * FROM table WHERE column = 1 OR column = 2 OR column = 3

And sadly, that is the route you'll have to take with your LIKE statements

SELECT * FROM table
WHERE column LIKE 'Text%' OR column LIKE 'Hello%' OR column LIKE 'That%'

I know this is old but I got a kind of working solution

SELECT Tbla.* FROM Tbla
INNER JOIN Tblb ON
Tblb.col1 Like '%'+Tbla.Col2+'%'

You can expand it further with your where clause etc. I only answered this because this is what I was looking for and I had to figure out a way of doing it.

One other option would be to use something like this

SELECT  * 
FROM    table t INNER JOIN
        (
            SELECT  'Text%' Col
            UNION SELECT 'Link%'
            UNION SELECT 'Hello%'
            UNION SELECT '%World%'
        ) List ON t.COLUMN LIKE List.Col
