* Steve Rapaport Regarding integer/string conversions:
select rec_no,phone_no from White where phone_no=0636941; versus select rec_no,phone_no from White where phone_no='0636941'; > Seems naive to me, since the datatype of the field is known, why > not convert the constant instead? Then everything would work at > least as well, and always faster. ...except it would probably by converted to '636941', not '0636941'... -- Roger database, table, sql --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
