Hi, i'm new at this list and to the mysql world. I'm a delphi/firebird
developer and have to acomplish some tasks using a mysql based database.

So

i'm looking about how things work in mysql.

My question... i created a table TEST, with two columns, ID_TEST int(11)

and

NAME varchar(50).. and added three records. This way:

1, "ppl1"
2, "ppl2"
3, <null>

ok.. why when i execute this sql, mysql return the two first rows,

instead

of raising an error?

select * from TEST where NAME = 2??

I don't know why it returns the first two rows, but (assuming you didn't
really end your query with two question marks) what error are you

expecting

to occur?


TIA.
