Dear all, I am wondering whether constant arguments are required in string functions, e.g.
Substring(str, pos, len). Given MyTable: ... MyString TEXT, (muti-byte characters) MyPos UNSIGNED(10), MyLength UNSIGNED(10). While (1) works well, (2) would return strange characters. (1)SELECT SUBSTRING(MyString, 1, 1) (2) SELECT SUBSTRING(MyString, MyPos, MyLength) FROM MyTable What's wrong with SQL (2)?
