I have a mysql query where a subquery is:
BETWEEN '5.00' AND '10.00'
And this returns no results.
However when I use Floats or Ints:
BETWEEN 5 and 10
it works
The BETWEEN query also works for other values AS strings, but just not for 5 and 10.
EG:
BETWEEN '4' AND '5'
works.
How could this be?
There is a difference between strings and integers — there is a reason why you have several different datatypes :
When comparing integers, you are comparing their numerical values ; i.e.
10is bigger than5.When comparing strings, you are using an alphabetical comparison ; i.e.
'10'is smaller than'5', because'1'is smaller than'5'.
