How to subselect on multiple values where like operator is included?
Table A ID Val 1 I33.1 2 I33.3 3 D10.5 4 X10.1 5 D10.1 6 A12.2 Table B ID Val 1 I33.% 2 D10.% 3 A12.%
I build Table B with the ‘%’ to get all values from Table A with the like-operator.
I can get the I-values from Table A with
SELECT * FROM TABLE A WHERE VAL LIKE (‘I33.%’)
but i build Table B to go through the whole table with one statement, like
Select * FROM TABLE A WHERE VAL IN/LIKE(SELECT VAL FROM TABLE B)
But this doesnt work. > ERROR: more than one row returned by a subquery used as an expression
Both tables are way bigger, so can i get the all values from Table A with the VAL from Table B?
Desired output
ID Val 1 I33.1 2 I33.3 3 D10.5 4 D10.1 5 A12.2

Following query should work in your scenario
SELECT t1.* FROM TableA t1 INNER JOIN TableB t2 ON t1.val LIKE t2.val
