where price=7.99; in the select caluse is not working (1 reply)

Hi,

I have been trying to use the following command in the mysql> command prompt like this:

mysql> select column1, column2 from TableA where price=7.99;

It gives me the following response:

Empty set <0.00 sec>

Is it possible the mysql doesn't have = operator, but it works with the char variables just like it does in SQL.
Please let me know what's going on here.

Thanks,

cK
