SQL LIKE

SELECT * FROM employees WHERE Salary LIKE '3%' OR Salary LIKE '4%' OR Salary LIKE '5%'; How exactly to simplify this using IN instead of OR? I did try the following but I unfortunately failed: SELECT* FROM employees WHERE Salary LIKE IN ('3%', '4%', '5%'); Also, I even swapped LIKE and IN, but still failed :(. plz help, thanks :D

"There is no combination of LIKE & IN in SQL, much less in TSQL (SQL Server) or PLSQL (Oracle). Part of the reason for that is because Full Text Search (FTS) is the recommended alternative." (Source: Stackowerflow)
