How to use SQL LIKE condition with multiple values in PostgreSQL?

Question

Is there any shorter way to look for multiple matches:

 SELECT * 
 from table 
 WHERE column LIKE \"AAA%\" 
    OR column LIKE \"BBB%\" 
    OR column LIKE \         


        

Answer 1

Following query helped me. Instead of using LIKE, you can use ~*.

select id, name from hosts where name ~* 'julia|lena|jack';
