RE: [PHP-DB] MySql query

One reason that my queries will look like what you described is that later I append more conditions. The where 1 allows me to tack them all on with AND or OR instead of having to put the where on later and decide things like if I need to put AND or OR or WHERE or whatever... The WHERE 1 keeps it simple.... <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Adam Voigt [mailto:adam@kotisprop.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 10:15 AM To: Matt Matijevich Cc: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] MySql query Yes, where evaluates to true.
