Wildcards in DB2 SQL

Hello,

I am new to this forums and new to DB2 too.

I have a requirement here. Does DB2 support wildcards like [charlist], [^charlist] or [!charlist] other than '_' and '%'?

Here are the tables values:
1234
12345
12346A
1234AB
1234ABCD
AB1234CD
123456AB

Can somebody help me write a query to match for '1234' to get only these values:
1234
1234AB
1234ABCD
AB1234CD

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nikhil

Ofcourse DB2 supports wildcard chars,

use % with LIKE clause in case to CHAR datatype

for eg. SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE your_column LIKE '%1234%'

this will search matches for substring 1234 anywhere in the string & you will get result as desired:
1234
1234AB
1234ABCD
AB1234CD
