In SQL, these are the wildcard options:
% - match zero or more characters
_ - match a single character
[] - match one of a set of characters.
So your query would be:
<cfquery name="get" datasource="#application.datasource#">
select * from dic
where name like 'T%'
order by name
</cfquery>
Hope that helps,
Dimo.
