Can anyone tell me how would i replace the following query with a "="
SELECT * from table_name WHERE name LIKE "%name%"; I want to have the same functionality like "LIKE" but having no LIKE word in it. Basically i want it for a search engine and i heard that using LIKE decreases the speed like nothing as compared to "=" -TIA Sharmad -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
