How to use SQL LIKE condition with multiple values in PostgreSQL?
Use LIKE ANY(ARRAY['AAA%', 'BBB%', 'CCC%'])
as per this cool trick @maniek showed earlier today.
Using array or set comparisons:
create table t (str text);
insert into t values ('AAA'), ('BBB'), ('DDD999YYY'), ('DDD099YYY');
select str from t
where str like any ('{"AAA%", "BBB%", "CCC%"}');
select str from t
where str like any (values('AAA%'), ('BBB%'), ('CCC%'));
It is also possible to do an AND
which would not be easy with a regex if it were to match any order:
select str from t
where str like all ('{"%999%", "DDD%"}');
select str from t
where str like all (values('%999%'), ('DDD%'));
Perhaps using SIMILAR TO
would work ?
SELECT * from table WHERE column SIMILAR TO '(AAA|BBB|CCC)%';
