Question

I have one specific problem and I don’t know how to solve it.

I have DB with a structure:

ID NAME    MIN_VALUE    MAX_VALUE    PERCENT
1  Name1   0            500          40
2  Name2   501          5000         30
3  Name4   5001         5000000      20

Now the question is how can I select “PERCENT” From this db if search string is 1021 (so it’s between 501 and 5000,, and I need to add 30% on some number)

I tried something like:

SELECT * FROM DB WHERE min_value < STRING < max_value

But it’s not working.

Can this be done with MySQL or should I use PHP. But I just don’t have IDEA how to solve this problem.

With kind regards,

SELECT * FROM DB.table1 `
WHERE floor(1021*1.30) BETWEEN min_value+1 AND max_value-1 

Do remember that BETWEEN is all-inclusive, so this code is equivalent to:

SELECT * FROM DB.table1 
WHERE floor(1021*1.30) >= (min_value+1) AND floor(1021*1.30) <= (max_value -1)
