Multiple likes for same field separated by or not working in sqlany16

[Former Member]

I have some sql like

Select * 
from bti.table
where
field between start and stop
and field1 is null
and (field2 like 'HH%' or field2 like 'HS%' or field2 like 'SS%')

I only get results like HH%. What gives? Is there an alternate way to do this? I could make 3 separate queries and combine the results but that would be slow and clunky.

version is 16.0.0.2213

thanks

I cannot reproduce that behavior. Please confirm the version and build you are testing. I tested the following query against the demo database:

select * from employees where StartDate between '1900-01-01' and '2019-01-10' and TerminationDate is null and (City like 'CH%' or City like 'CO%' or City like 'WA%')

In the results, I get the following cities: Charlottetown, Cornwall, Wakefield, Waterdown, and Waterloo

I'm an idiot. The issue was there was nothing that met the criteria for the other likes. Sorry

Don't worry about it... you did the right thing by posting a question, sometimes that's the path to epiphany 🙂
