Hi All, >From what I understand the LIKE keyword allows you to do things like include wildcards and match against regular expressions.
But I have a question: is there any difference between the following? SELECT lname, fname FROM contacts WHERE lname = 'smith'; SELECT lname, fname FROM contacts WHERE lname LIKE 'smith'; I'm having difficulty figuring out the difference between these two queries, if there is any. Can someone clarify? Sincerely, -Josh -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
