Anyone know the syntax to search a MySQL table column by hex value or CHAR() value? Do I have to use a LIKE or IN()?
Something like:
SELECT * FROM `myWordTable` WHERE `definition` LIKE 0xE28098;
OR
SELECT * FROM `myWordTable` WHERE `definition` LIKE CHAR(128);
Thanks!
The second one is close.
Try this:
SELECT *
FROM `myWordTable`
WHERE `definition`
LIKE concat('%',CHAR(128),'%');
In the first example consider pattern match '%' == 0x25
SELECT *
FROM `myWordTable`
WHERE `definition`
LIKE 0x25E2809825;
You need to UNHEX() values you want to match on.
For example, finding all accented e's that were corrupted into 0xC3A9:
SELECT id, FirstName
FROM Person
WHERE FirstName
RLIKE UNHEX('c3a9');
