Comparing Two parts of two String in mysql

Question

I have columns in my db called range which stores values like this "2500-3000", and i am receiving and input from the client in the same format. What i want to do is search through my db to find the range in which the clients input will fall. what i need is an sql query that could effectively compare those ranges.

Answer 1

Use BETWEEN operator

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name BETWEEN 2500 AND 3000.
