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

The below query will do for Orale DB:

select distinct(city) from station where upper(substr(city, 1,1)) in ('A','E','I','O','U') and upper(substr(city, length(city),1)) in ('A','E','I','O','U');
