requinix Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 MySQL is converting the string in the column to a number to match the 1 in your query. Means it ignores leading zeros and stops at the first invalid character (such as a letter). Use quotes so both the '1' and the column are the same data type.
