Hi Florian,

Thanks for re-sending your question to the mailing list ;-).

Here is an earlier post that shows how to do this via a native query:

Yes, the LIKE operator can be handled just like IN. In the SQLite runtime,
in() functions are defined in odb/sqlite/query.hxx and implemented in 
odb/sqlite/query.txx.

Also, LIKE is on our TODO list and we would like to support it. In fact,
if you can wait a few days, I can implement it and give you the patch
(we like to implement features that someone is willing to start using
before the release).
