declare global temporary table TABLE_1 as (
select * from(values('0110 EXFN 01 ABCD')) x(COL1)
) with data with replace
;;
declare global temporary table TABLE_2 as (
select * from(values('0110 EXFN 01'), ('____ EXFN 01')) x(COL1)
) with data with replace
;;
select *
from TABLE_1 T1
join TABLE_2 T2
on T2.COL1 = left(T1.COL1, length(T2.COL1))
