Companies can have slightly different titles for the same job; for example
(using abbreviations). 'Asst Gen Mgr.', 'Env Mgr,', 'Gen Mgr,'. 'Mgr,',
'Plant Mgr.'
I want to select all people table rows that contain these varieties. I know
the 'like' operator uses '%' as a wildcard, but is not accepted in an 'in'
list.
Is there a way to use a multicharacter wildcard in an 'in' list?
TIA,
Rich

Suggest encoding that knowledge in a table then using normal joins and
filters to query against whatever you;ve decided is the canonical spelling
of the relevant position.
