I'm trying to use a select statement for a table that uses numbers for the field names. Here is the query I've been trying. Please help! SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE '18'=1; (18 is the field name, 1 obviously is the value I'm looking for.) Everytime I have tried a variation, I get the same result where MySQL keeps evaluating the WHERE statement like a mathematical equation. -Zach -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
