how can I turn @t1 back into 0x616263? What is

Convert String To Date In MySQL 4.0
What's the best way to convert a string to a date in MySQL 4.0?

Possible input:
1. mm/dd/yyyy,
2. yyyy-mm-dd, or
3. an empty string

output:
yyyy-mm-dd 00:00:00

I am aware that MySQL 4.1 has the STR_TO_DATE() function but we are still in 4.0.x.

Convert Hexadecimal String To Unsigned Integer?
How can I convert a string value containing a representation of a hexadecimal number to an unsigned integer?

For example, given the string '00000ff', I want to convert this to unsigned integer = 255.

In other words, if I create a hex string value from an integer using:
lpad(hex(255),7,'0') results in string value '00000ff';
How can I unconvert this string value back to the integer value? UNHEX does not seem to work?

The following function correctly converts a hex number to an unsigned integer:
select cast(0x00000ff as unsigned) /* results in 255 */

However, I can not pass this same function a string:
select cast('0x00000ff' as unsigned) /* syntax error */
select cast('00000ff' as unsigned) /* results in zero) */

I've also tried UNHEX without success:
select unhex('00000ff') /* seems not to return anything */
select cast(unhex('00000ff') as unsigned) /* returns zero */

provoide example for this.

Create A Field By Deleting A Part Of The String From Another Field!
I have a table for "Addresses", which has a column titled "Address" and the records in this column are a combination of house#, street name and street suffix, which typically looks like "100 Main Street".

I am looking for a query result wherein a new column would be created which would have only the street name and the suffix and would eliminate the house #s, hence the result would look like "Main Street".

Can someone teach me the way so that I can retrieve Date type data from the database and present it in the GUI as a String type.

Comparing A Field With A String
I would like to run a select statement against a table, with a where condition that a field (less all it's non-alphanumeric chars) = a string. Ordering is important.

For example the following should all evalute true,
'1 2 3' = '123'
'1"23' = '123'
'1 23' = '123'
'(abcde)' = 'abcde'

where as these should evaluate false,
'123' != '321'
'1a23' != '123'
'abc' != abcd'

I have a sinking feeling I need regex for this, which is unfortunate as I know none.

I Want To Check That A String Is In A Field
I want to select everything where a specific short string, is in the actual field. Eg, if I use a search string of alpine, it will be 'in' the field value Alpine Forests, so I will select the field that contains Alpine Forests.

This is my SQL so far and it doesn't work

SELECT * from packages2_tbl WHERE (INSTR(model, LCASE('Alpine'))) AND product_active = 'yes' ORDER BY model ASC"
Has anyone got any ideas?

Numeric Sorting Of A String Field
I have an issue with sorting sail numbers for sail boats. Sail numbers may optionally contain a country prefix (can5003, or US345), hence the string. So.. I need to sort the sail numbers numerically by the integer component only (ignorning the chars).

Sample data
1352
US 2005
74272
CAN801

Needs to look like this.
CAN801 - sorted as 801
1352 - sorted as 1352
US 2005 - sorted as 2005
74272 - sorted as 74272

I don't quite know where to start.. a generated field that is 0 lpadded to some max length? - not sure how to drop the chars.

Ordering Records Using Integer In String Field
I have table similar to:

Id____Name_____________restProp
1.____Abc.150mm.aa_____567
2.____Abc.50mm.aa______654
3.____Bcd.150mm.bb____22654
4.____Bcd.18mm.bb_____2226

So as you can see there is an integer number (lenght of element) in Name string field. I need to sort results by:

1) Full Name
2) value in that name
3) other fields if needed

so I should get:

Id____Name_____________restProp
2.____Abc.50mm.aa______654
1.____Abc.150mm.aa_____567
4.____Bcd.18mm.bb_____2226
3.____Bcd.150mm.bb____22654

I know I can do this with php script, but maybe there is something easier/faster?

Convert SQL Query
I'm trying to convert the following query to MySQL:
CAST(CAST(dataMonth AS VARCHAR) + '/' + '01' + '/' + CAST(dataYear AS VARCHAR) AS SMALLDATETIME)
BETWEEN '2005/01/01' AND '2005/08/01' AND InputMethod = 1;

What this query is doing is taking two fields and stringing them together to form a date. The end result is used to check w/in the given date range.
is the SMALLDATETIME considered a column alias when using a CAST function in MySQL? If so, then I can't use the alias name in the WHERE clause of a SELECT statement. Which is what is hanging me up.
I'm just trying to take the data from two different fields and convert it to a date so I can use the result in the WHERE clause.
