We are running MySql version 5.0.45-Debian_1ubuntu3.1-log Debian etch distribution under Ubuntu. If I submit the following query via mysql_query it acts as if the where is not there:
select count(*) as 'Count' from logins where player = 'aqwert'; this returns: Count 143578160 Submitting the same query at a MySql prompt works correcty: mysql> select count(*) as 'Count' from logins where player = 'dawiz'; +-------+ | Count | +-------+ | 6026 | +-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Modifying the query to use a group by returns the correct count: Total Count Total 6026 Is there something I should know about mysql_query and a simple count(*)?
