Selecting 0-9
OK I have a page which selects all the values from my table if they start w/ the current letter. This works. But how do I do it so that it selects only values that start with a number?

RE: Selecting 0-9
If the number is held in a text field could you use the ord() function to match against the ascii code?

RE: Selecting 0-9
... WHERE field RLIKE "^[0-9]"

should work, I think

RE: Selecting 0-9
I was thinkning along the lines of:

SELECT values from table WHERE ORD(field) = ASCII(5)

which would return all fields starting with 5,
but the same result using:

SELECT values from table WHERE field RLIKE "^5"

is a lot more elegant - nice one xs0!
