Re: Idea as to why this query won't work as expected?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Try grouping your WHERE clauses with parentheses like so:

select * FROM OrderTable WHERE ( submitted=1 AND
dateinserted>='1036386000' AND dateinserted<='1036502796' AND
order_status='Shipped' ) OR order_status='Not Shipped'

I can never remember whether SQL is left-to-right, right-to-left, or 
some other deviant. Using parens is a sure way to guarantee that your 
statements are processed in the order you desire.
