MySQL LIKE IN()?

Question

My current query looks like this:

SELECT * FROM fiberbox f WHERE f.fiberBox LIKE \'%1740 %\' OR f.fiberBox LIKE \'%1938 %\' OR f.fiberBox LIKE \'%1940 %\'
         


        

Answer 1

Sorry, there is no operation similar to LIKE IN in mysql.

If you want to use the LIKE operator without a join, you'll have to do it this way:

(field LIKE value OR field LIKE value OR field LIKE value)

You know, MySQL will not optimize that query, FYI.
