Question : SORTING BY Column Names when Column Name is Numeric
Maybe this was bad design, but I have a table with some fields that has names that are simply numbers.
Here are some sample field in my STATISTICS table. ID, NAME, 1, 2, 3, 4
So I want to query for this data but I am getting an error when trying to sort by the field name. Or it sorts by the wrong one because it thinks it is the position of the field -> NOT the name of it.
Ie.
SELECT * FROM STATISTICS WHERE NAME LIKE "A%" ORDER BY 3;
This would actually sort by the "1" field.
In MS SQL Server I would put square brackets around the field name. Is there something similiar for MYSQL?
Thanks.
