MySQL,
This should be a fairly simple question.
I have a table with a bunch of people's names. I want to find people
who's name begins within a certain range of characters.
All names between F and P, for example.
What SELECT statement would I use to do that?
Thank you for any advice.

And to add a few more possibilities:
select * from your_table where name >= 'F' and name < 'Q'
select * from your_table where left(name, 1) in
('f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p')
I wouldn't recommend the latter, but might be handy if you were
dealing with something more complex than a simple range.
