Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL BETWEEN Problems
I think you need between 'A' and 'F%' Aa is between A and F but 'Fa' is not between 'A' and 'F' (but 'Ez' would be between 'A' and 'F') -B Tony Grimes wrote: I'm using BETWEEN to return a list all people who's last names fall between A and F: WHERE last_name BETWEEN 'A' AND 'F' ... but it's only returning names between A and E. The same thing happens when I use: WHERE last_name = 'A' AND last_name = 'F' ... Shouldn't this work the way I expect it? What am I doing wrong?

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL BETWEEN Problems
Try using the substr, since you are only comparing the first letters... (sorry I did not reply all on the other email, Dan) i.e. select name from users where substr(name, 1, 1) = 'A' and substr(name, 1, 1) = 'B'; -B Dan Shirah wrote: So just change it to WHERE last_name BETWEEN 'A' AND 'G' .

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL BETWEEN Problems
Yeah, but what do I do for Q-Z? I guess I¹ll have to write a condition to use last_name = Q¹ if it finds a Z. I¹ll have to write conditions to look for other exceptions too. Aaarrgh! *looks up at the Gods* Damn you BETWEEN! Why must you torture me so!?! Have a good weekend.

Nice! That did the trick. Thanks Brad. I live to fight another day.
