Hello,
If I have a field in a table which will have values like "2.2.2", I
want to do a SELECT rows WHERE field "HAS 3 DOTS",
AND,
a SELECT rows WHERE field "starts with 2.2" but could be anything after
that - simply put, a "2.2*", in shell terms.
How do I do these two? How must I structure the data in the field? Any
special requirements/anything that MySQL makes life easy for, for the
delimiters?
Thanks.

Hi,
the wildcard for a single character is an underscore ( _ ) and for zero to
many characters it's the % sign.
So, e.g.:
select rows from table where field like '_._._'
or
select rows from table where field like '2.2%'
should work for you.

I thought it might be useful to put the recent lambda threads into

code, so I grepped my Python Lib directory. Here are some of the ones I
looked, classified by how I would rewrite them (if I could):
* Rewritable as def statements (<name> = lambda <args>: <expr> usage)
These are lambdas used when a lambda wasn't needed -- an anonymous
function was created with...

Giudo has suggested adding optional static typing to Python.
(I hope suggested is the correct word.)
http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=85551
An example of the syntax he proposes is:
> def f(this:that=other):
> print this
This means that f() has a 'this' parameter, of type 'that'.
And 'other' is the default value.

Hey there,
i have been learning python for the past few months, but i can seem to
get what exactly a lamda is for. What would i use a lamda for that i
could not or would not use a def for ? Is there a notable difference ?
I only ask because i see it in code samples on the internet and in
books.
thanks for any clarity

I've got a string of data, included in that string is 11* as it appears, the * is not a wildcard. I'm using the function
Like "*" & "11*" & "*" to find any records that have "11*", again, the * is not a wildcard. But it's interpreting it as a wildcard, so I'm getting 1105 and 11X and so on. How can I change the formula so that it will return...

I have a class which is not intended to be instantiated. Instead of using
the class to creating an instance and then operate on it, I use the class
directly, with classmethods. Essentially, the class is used as a function
that keeps state from one call to the next.
The problem is that I don't know what to call such a thing! "Abstract
class" isn't right, because that implies that you should subclass the
class and then instantiate the...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
