Casey, the reply that Ken made was in no way condescending. As was
pointed out in Matt's response, there are several ways to accomplish the
task you are looking for, some better, some worse and some possibly not
available to you. This depends on your dbms, whether that column is
indexed, whether the column is a varchar or an int, etc.
People are taking the time to try and help you even if you don't
recognize it. Trashing them for it won't earn you any points and will
likely make very helpful people (like Ken) not want to help you in
future. Please keep this in mind when replying to the list.
Thank you,
Judah
