Where is the syntax error in this?
select name from users where name like '%' and strcmp( substr(name from 1 for 3), 'abc' )=0;

substr(name,1,3) Check the manual. You don't include the 'from' and 'for'.



Why should I use strcmp since "MySQL automatically converts numbers to strings as necessary, and vice versa."?
