you should set parentheses on it
Select * FROM name WHERE last LIKE "d" AND (choice1="2" OR choice2="2" OR choice3="2");
without it interprets it as
like "d" and choice1="2"
or
choice2="2"
or
choice3="2"

Here's my question. I wrote this query:
Select * FROM name WHERE last LIKE "d" AND choice1="2" OR choice2="2" OR choice3="2";
What I'm looking for are records that satisfy the LIKE "d" condition But then, Only one of the three other conditions need be true: choice1=2 choice2=2 choice3=2
I want to cover the possibilities, e.g.,
choice1=2 choice2=1 choice3=1
choice1=1 choice2=2 choice3=whatever
Or choice1=1 choice2=1 choice3=2
Does this make sense? The query I've written doesn't seem quite right. Because of the AND following the LIKE "d" condition, it seems like all the records will have to have choice2 equaling 2.
Some help clarifying this issue would be appreciated. Thanks.
