Handling Decimals with operators

Hi Folks,
I am trying to make a query that will not return any item larger than 3.000
in a width field, but I have an item returning with a width of 7.500

I am wondering if it is a function of a 3 place decimal field.

Here is the query:
SELECT *
FROM `Catalog`
WHERE `Catalog`.designer LIKE 'Victorian' AND `Catalog`.width <3.000
ORDER BY `Catalog`.sold

I've tried it with single quotes, but the item still comes up.
AND `Catalog`.width <'3.000'

What is weird is that the designer field has nothing like Victorian in it,
but it still pops up.

Jeff

You don't even say what DBMS you're using. Assuming it's MySQL, this equals to:

.... WHERE (`Catalog`.designer LIKE ('Victorian' AND `Catalog`.width)) < 3

Thank you!

Yes,it is MySql. I also found that my page had a partial query not
completely overwritten, so it was screwing things up badly.
