<clip> Are you sure LIKE isn't working? I would think LIKE "a%" would work. For 0-9, I would think you can use <= 9 or you can use BETWEEN 0 and 9. </clip> Silly me, the reason it was not working was I am so used to %something% and used that instead of something% Anyway, it was a not a useless post for me because the 0-9 part was not solved in my head but a lot of interesting replies as to how to do it.
