SQL query to check if a name begins and ends with a vowel

Question

I want to query the list of CITY names from the table STATION(id, city, longitude, latitude) which have vowels as both their first and last charact

Answer 1

You may try this

    select city
    from station where SUBSTRING(city,1,1) in ('A','E','I','O','U') and 
    SUBSTRING(city,-1,1) in ('A','E','I','O','U');
