    ej

    select * from my table

    where filed like in ('%papper%','%pen%')

    wil return

    id desc price

    2 white papper 10.23

    5 red papper 10.23

    6 blue pen 1.00

    Not that i know of.

    But there are several alternatives:

    select * from my table

    where filed like '%papper%'

    or filed like '%pen%'

    or using a split function to get the 'papper' and 'pen' as separate rows and use a join on that table.

    "Like" and "IN" are two seperate operators.

    Simplest approach is to use

    select * from my table where filed like '%papper%'

    or filed like '%pen%'
