RE: Help with SQL syntax

You can create a view with values in it, such as 'IBM' when Name like
'%IBM%', however you will most likely need to create a table and insert
values into that table with a subquery; one for each "company" name you
want to group by.

But what do I know, I'm an RPG programmer. <g>
