You need to select all rows, but you have only control on the condition on flied1, I am right ? If you can input %, it should do the trick. select * from table WHERE field1 like '%'; Why can't you do just select * from table ?? -- Pooly Webzine Rock : http://www.w-fenec.org/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
