When I filter numeric id with where condition inside with key all then result is like this which is correct https://prnt.sc/1ubkviy
But when we pass alpha numeric value inside where condition, still it is giving result then can you explain us in detail why this is happening https://prnt.sc/1ubkzbq
Try using BINARY for exact match:
SELECT * FROM office_category WHERE BINARY id="2sssss"
First let me apologize I have not been successful in finding anything online with this specific scenario.
I have been using MySQL for quite some time, but I am hoping to get some clarification on a certain situation I have come across, which honestly bothers me quite a bit.
I'm trying to match a string in a MySQL column that contains both \ and % literal characters using the LIKE operator.
Inside the table I have two records:
id value
-----------------------
1 100\\%A
2 100\%A
They both contain literal special characters.
If I do a SELECT, in an attempt to only match the first record (id=1), I would expect to write the query as such:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE value LIKE '%0\\\\\%A'
(\\\\ to match two literal backslashes, plus a backslash before % to match a literal %)
However, It only matches the row (id=2), which makes no sense to me.
If I change the query a little to be:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE value LIKE '%0\\\\%A'
I would expect to match the id=1 row only, (\\\\ to match 2 literal backslashes, and the % is not literal and should represent a wildcard). But instead, it matches both rows?
row (id=2) only has a single backslash but still matches.
Is row id=2 matching because the first 2 backslashes are matching the \, the 3rd backslash is ignored for some reason, and the 4th backslash is allowing a literal match on the %?
If I do a:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE value LIKE '%0\\\\\\\%A'
I for some reason get row (id=1), when I would expect to get no matches whatsoever.
I'm trying to find a solution in which I can do partial matches on any series of characters accurately, including those with consecutive special characters such as the scenario above. However, I'm having an impossible time trying to plan for situations such as these.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe this help you understand the usage of escape chars in mySQL

I have a MySQL table setup where one column's values are a string of comma-separated True/False values (1s or 0s). For example, in the column, one field's value may be "0,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,0" and another may be "1,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,0" (note: these are NOT 9 separate columns, but a string in one column). I need to QUERY the MySQL table for elements that are "true"(1) for the "nth element" of that column's value/string.
So, if I was looking for rows, with a specific column, where the 3rd element of the column's value was 1, it would produce a list of results. So, in this case, I would only be searching for "1" in the fth place (12345 = X,X,X...) of the string (X,X,1,X,X,X,X,X,X,X). How can I query this?
This is a crude example of what I am trying to do ...
"SELECT tfcolumn FROM mytable WHERE substr({tfcolumn}, 0, 5)=1"
{tfcolumn} represents the column value
5 represents the 5th position of the string
=1 represents what I need that position to equal to.
Please help. Thanks
You can't. Once you put a serialized data type into a column in SQL (like comma separated lists, or JSON objects) you are preventing yourself from performing any query on the data in those columns. You have to pull the data in a different way and then use a program like python, VB, etc to get the comma separated values you are looking for.
Unless you want to deal with trying to make this mess of a query work...
I would recommend changing your table structure before it's too late. Although it is possible, it is not optimized in a format that a DBMS recognizes. Because of that the DBMS will spend a significant amount of time going through every record to parse the csv values which is something that it was not meant to be doing. Doing the query in SQL will take as much time (if not more time) than just pulling all the records and searching with a tool that can do it properly.
If the column contains values exactly like the ones you posted, then the Nth element is at the 2 * N - 1 position in the comma separated list.
So do this:
SELECT tfcolumn
FROM tablename
WHERE substr(tfcolumn, 2 * 5 - 1, 1) = '1'
Replace 5 with the index that you search for.
See the demo.
Or remove all commas and get the Nth char:
SELECT tfcolumn
FROM tablename
WHERE substr(replace(tfcolumn, ',', ''), 5, 1) = '1'
See the demo.
Try this
if substring_index(substring_index('0,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,0',',',3),',',-1)='1'
The first argument can be your column name. The second argument (',') tells the function that the string is comma-separated. The third argument takes the first 3 elements of the string. So, the output of inner substring_index is '0,1,0'.
The outer substring_index has -1 as the last argment. So, it starts counting in reverse direction & takes only 1 element starting from right.
For example, if the value in a particular row is '2,682,7003,14,185', then the value of substring_index(substring_index('2,682,7003,14,185',',',3),',',-1) is '7003'.
Hi I have been trying to select the records whose column has no integer I have this piece of code and tried it different ways but still get back rows with P992142
P992142
P301716
P301716
P307162
P306522
which I don't want
select practitioner_id
from claimsprofinload
WHERE practitioner_id not like '%[0-9]%';
You're using a regular expression in conjunction with LIKE, which is not valid. What you want is the REGEXP or RLIKE comparison.
Since that expression is evaluated as a more literal string, and since none of your rows have [0-9] literally in them, it matches all rows.
I have a string array comprised of words (ex. { alpha, beta, gamma } ) and a MySQL table filled with words. For each string array, I come up with a SELECT statement that queries the MySQL table to see if there are any matches of words. The rows that are returned let me know when a word in my string array is one of the unique ones in the table. I then alter the text of the specific string in the string array. For simplicity sake, let's assume I want to call a .ToUpper() on it.
My current method is to get all of the rows from the table that match and then loop through the string array and check whether every single row returned matches every single string in the array. That's incredibly inefficient, and I would much rather have the rows returned from my MySQL query have a column that tells me which position in the string array that word came from. That way I can jump right there and fiddle around with the string. Is there a way to give each "LIKE" clause in the where statement a unique identifier that is returned if that specific like clause is the one that matches? Any ideas would be much appreciated.
My Select Statement is:
SELECT `WordText` FROM `Words` WHERE `WordText` LIKE 'alpha%' OR `WordText` LIKE 'gamma%';
What I am looking for is something like this:
SELECT `WordText`, PositionInArray FROM `Words` WHERE `WordText` LIKE 'alpha%' (IF MATCH THEN PositionInArray=0 -- alpha's position in my array) OR `WordText` LIKE 'gamma%' (IF MATCH THEN PositionInArray=2 - gamma's position in my array);
When this row is returned, I can go straight to WordArray[PositionInArray].ToUpper() and know that that is the word that matched.
Thanks a lot!
SELECT CASE WHEN WordText LIKE 'alpha%' THEN 0 WHEN WordText LIKE 'beta%' THEN 1
WHEN 'gamma%' THEN 2 ELSE -1 END AS match FROM Words WHERE match <> -1
