You will need to be clearer about what you want.
If it is to fetch titles with Mgr in the name then it would be simple:
select * from people_table where title ilike '%mgr%';
If it is something more selective you will need to provide a more
detailed example.

Adrian,
I thought my example was clear: there are modifiers to job titles such as
'Manager,' 'Vice President,' 'Engineer.' That's why I asked if the
`like/ilike' modifier would work in a list passed to the `in' command.

So what are you searching on, the title, the modifier or both?
