I want to create a SELECT statement using BETWEEN like: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE myfield BETWEEN value_1 AND value_2. The field I'm applying my BETWEEN clause is a varchar.
Now, if value_1 and value_2 are numbers the select statement works as is. If value_1 and value_2 are characters I need to enclose them with apostrophes like: SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE myfield BETWEEN 'value_1' AND 'value_2'. If the appropriate format (enclosing or not enclosing with apostrophes) is not followed the query fails. Is there a way to generalize my SELECT statement so value_1 and value_2 can be numbers or characters?
