I never used between for string operation. I also never seen this kind of condition in working scenario.

:doze:

Thanks

why Doug is not in the list.

If I pick the names and sort them in ascending order in excel sheet, I will get below

B.

Bob

Carl

D

D.

Doug

Now as the WHERE clause is "between 'B' and 'D'", it is clear I will only have top 4 values from the above list 🙂

Answer makes sense, but plenty of people were fooled...

I agree that it probably doesn't happen with string data so much, but it does help to make clear that the "between" operator works like >= and <= instead of > and < (I have seen many be fooled this way).

I'm not sure that the case sensitive had any place other than to potentially mislead. The result, given the data, is the same so CI vs CS if Carl had been carl then it would matter.

Working with health data, we have a lot of code ranges that we deal with for reporting from varchar fields. I have only very rarely seen between used incorrectly, but I have needed to give exactly this clarification a few times.

I am dealing with BETWEEN often, but this was the first time I have seen it for strings. Wow - never thought of that.

Thanks, Gary!

Dough is outside the parameters of "where name between 'B' and 'D' "

Letter D preceeds Dough.
