The answer depends on the source of the data. If this is a file geodatabase you could use an expression like:
The SQL you would need to use would probably be different for a personal geodatabase or Enterprise SDE geodatabase. If your data comes from those databases you should consult the help for Access or your SDE geodatabase server to create a similar query.
