Hi.

I fail to understand how this query might give you ther results that you expect. Also I am clueless why it works with InnoDB.

At first I believe that instr(code,142546997) can only return a non-zero number if code is longer or equal than 142546997 and starts with this sequence.

At second I believe that instr() is not able to tell you how many characters are matched.

At third I don't see any ORDER BY. So how could you select the longest match?

At last I wonder why LIMIT in the middle of the query is syntactically accepted. It fails for me.

IMHO this query cannot work at all. Please ask for help in the newbie forum.

Regards
Ingo
