Re: SQL Where Like - Range it?!

H-

Thank you to all that have replied.

Unfortunately none of the examples provided worked for me on my system.

I tried:
SELECT * from table where last_name BETWEEN 'A' AND 'G';
SELECT * from table where last_name >='A' AND last_name<'G';
SELECT * from table where last_name ~* '^[A-F]';

to no avail. 8^(

I didn't find a between function in the postgres documentation.

Is that some special function? I'm using PostgreSQL 6.5.3.

If anyone has any further thoughts please drop a line.
Thanks again and hopefully something will work out.
