In MySQL you can also do this:
SELECT * FROM artists
WHERE
LEFT(title, 1) >= 'A'
AND
LEFT(title, 1) <= 'H'
ORDER BY title
This will return a range of all artists whose title begins with A thru H.
Treat the letters like numbers.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Selecting Alphabetically
Hi,
Could anyone point me in the right direction with this one
select * from sometable where (SUBSTRING(somefield,1,1) in
('a','b','c','d','f','g','h')) AND (SUBSTRING(somefield,2,1) in
('i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p'));
Best regards,
