Re: How to check if `Pcode` from the table is in the string 'AB134DE'

Ah thats a possibility, I remember something about this.

I just tried... 

SELECT `Pcode` FROM `postcodes` WHERE concat(`Pcode`, '%') LIKE 'AB134DE'
but nothing was returned. my table has the following entry that relates to the string 'AB134DE'...

AB13

strange that it did not return this result.

just before I was about to post I realised what was wrong... 

SELECT `Pcode` FROM `postcodes` WHERE 'AB13' LIKE concat(`Pcode`, '%')
works just as expected.

Thank you Peter Brawley
