I have a SQL Server table with client names. I need to select a range of names from this list, but the between clause does not work well
Example; select all names begininng with A up to M sql statement select name from mydatabase.dbo.customers where name between 'A%' and 'M%' order by name The result is a list of names beginning with A and up to L To get the names beginning with M I need to write the where clause as follows where name between 'A%' and 'N%' I also tried : where name >= 'A%' and name <= 'M%' The resultant list goes from A to L, it does not show the names beginning with 'M' What is the solution, please? BTW, is there a range function in T-SQL, similar to Excel (A:M)?
