Question

How would I properly write this sql-english query:

“SELECT zip FROM tblContacts WHERE [the number of characters in zips is less or equal than 4]”.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Assuming zip is a string:

WHERE CHAR_LENGTH(zip) <= 4

should work.

Edit: originally there was some confusion as to whether the desired comparison was <, <=, or >, but now the Q’s been edited to clarify, so I’ve edited my A accordingly.
