Actually, as I really understand it none of them should have matched because REGEXP/RLIKE are case sensitive searches. It makes no difference if I use REGEXP instead of RLIKE. Also, I couldn't find any indication that mysql's regexp understood [0-9] as opposed to [0123456789], am I correct? Again, it makes no difference if I try that notation. Thanks, The query you want is dog_name RLIKE ^sam[0123456789]*$ Each of the above matches sam at the beginning folowed by ZERO or more numbers. If you put a $ at the end.

RE: LIKE work around??
You don't want to use LIKE in mysql - or have you not read about LIKE in the fine mysql manual?? If you use LIKE you will also need to use a % sign signify which bit is the variable bit. This is because mysql allows you to say if the variable bit is at the start or the end or both. LIKE 'banana%' would give you what you want, but it sounds like you should read the manual a bit more. cheers, noel On Friday, February 08, 2002 6:56 AM, Rutledge, Aaron [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: I am trying to query the database for records that have the same sequence of starting characters--such as banana1 and banana2 and have a result set returned that contains everything that starts with banana.
