Okay, I thought I'd done this before but maybe not. I can't figure it out now.
What I want to do is: SELECT column AS something FROM table WHERE something > 5 Basically I'm creating a new column called something and I want to use it to compare with in the WHERE condition. Is this possible? Ultimately I want to have MySQL calculate the age of people and also put a condition on it. I am using a very old fashioned web language which doesn't have a lot of power. I could do this in PHP if I could only use it. But I need MySQL to do it. Any thoughts? Also what is the name of this that I am doing, creating a new column. Is it a "dynamic" column or something? --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
