数据库——MySQL的where子句的一些小细节

问题描述

  在SQL中使用where子句时通常是对结果进行筛选，通过规定一些条件，根据这些条件的返回值（可以理解为返回值只有 true，false）来判断某个记录是否需要返回给用户。
最常见的写法：

select * from emp where id = 1;

  上面这个sql代表从emp表中选择出id=1的记录，如果id=1则返回，如果是其他数字或者null则不返回。
  如果我们的条件不是一个显示的判断性质的条件，而是一个字符串，一个数字呢？

测试

  下面我们利用一张表来测试，并通过注释来解释每个sql的用意。

总结

  看到这，规律我相信你已经知道了，但是原理是什么的话就和底层的实现有关系了（以后可能会填坑）。下面我总结一下：

当where子句中的条件不是字段+运算符的形式，其返回的结果的值是：

1. 如果是一个数字：数字0代表false，其他全部代表true；
2. 如果是字符串：
	2.1 字符串是纯数字：结果符合1的描述；
	2.2 字符串是纯字符：结果返回false；
	2.3 字符串有数字有字符：如果数字在前面，则按照2.1的结果返回，否则按照2.2的情况返回；
