Answer 1

As the other folks say you can use a list of OR conditions to specify the conditions.

You can also use a temporary table or subquery in the from clause. Here is an example of the subquery in the from clause:

select column1
   from abc
   , table(
       (select 'a%' as term from SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1)
       union all
       (select 'b%' from SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1)
       union all
       (select 'c%' from SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1)
   ) search_list
   where abc.column1  like search_list.term;
